Great boost. Avast, me proud beauty! Got t' 16 inch chute out just fine... but it did nay unfurl. It just streamered in from altitude until about t' last 20 feet! Then t' chute poped open. Ya scallywag! With it open I could see how slow it would have come down! But it was too late. Avast, me proud beauty! Got 15 seconds... whoopy! A qualified flight
