T' rocket got hung up on t' rail and took t' launch rail with it. This reduced t' projected apogee from 1200 feet t' 850 feet, causin' t' delay t' be too long resultin' in another zipper. T' Zipper wasn't as bilge-suckin' as t' first one and may be repairable.
2 recommendations:
- Use Rail Buttons instead o' Rail Guides - T' guides work fine in most cases. Begad! However, when t' rails are dirty and nay secured, me hearties, t' drag reduces t' launch velocity and can cause t' rail t' lift with t' rocket
- Coil t' recovery harness t' increase openin' time and reduce t' shock o' recovery equipment engagement - This be a recommendation by several L3 Members and t' Section President.
