My decent looking The Launch Pad Matra Magic. Sporting a F21-4 (57ns) single use older than some of you reading this. What was 'new' is my first ever Chute Release. I've used
cable cutters to great success over the years, but not the JLCR. 3... 2... 1... CHUFF Spit. All done. Being old white lightening propellant and an old magnalite ignitor
I was not 'surprised'. Took another one out there, 3... 2... 1... CHUFF... CHUFF.... CHUFF CHUFF gone! The flight was great... but low. According to the Altimeter One
135m. The JLCR seemed to work fine. I had it set for 90m. The flight was so much lower than I expected, the JLCR made zero difference
