Flight Description:
Quest D20-4W. Motor got the rocket up high and quick, but the decision to set the JLCR at 200' was cutting it too close. The long delay in the motor had it coming in ballistic and the JLCR released within a micro-second of the chute coming out of the tube from ejection. Overall though, great flight and soft landing with a 24" chute.
