At the beginning of the month John Robinson left a posting about his former experience sky diving. The conclusion of that post was that he never experienced chute loads of greater than 2.7 G regardle

If you want to see evidence of a deployed chute spike, ask Turk for his Maxton QwikData files. Print the histograms for his front and rear potentiometers. The spike is quite evident. John Goodman ___

Hey! I never thought of that. I have the data and there is a monsterous spike right before shutdown. And that is in a car at only 200 mph and a short tow line. A bagged stroud chute might work better

This subject seems to come up every year about this time. A lot of study has been done by the streamliner gang regarding chute deployment, opening shock, tow line lengths, canopy design, size etc. W

For us well under 400 MPH guys wouldn't some extra heavy duty rubber bands grouping the tether together help with this problem? JB -- Original Message -- From: "Dave Dahlgren" <ddahlgren@snet.net> To

John, are you serious about duct tape? I use masking tape about every foot on the shroud lines....packs easier & chute opens smoother... Seems like duct tape would be too strong....causing a "streame
