Since these guys are supposed to have an auto chute deploy
on 50 degrees of tilt, did the chute come out?

I spent a little time working out how to achieve this on the liner I'm
building ,ended up having the chutes ( there has to be two chutes on
motorcycle liners one high speed and one low speed ) automatically release
through a duel electromagnet set up ,two mercury switches and a timer ,works
simply , current passes through the mercury switches which energise two
electro magnets which hold springs tensioned to act as the pull on the release
line to the chutes this also activates a timer which releases the high speed
chute first then after a preset time releases the slow speed chute ,crude but
hopefully effective  yes there are other factors to consider and work out
will it work ???
