Chute got tangled. Used a larger 24inch fabric chute. Got wedged. Plus such a big tube needs more powder. Avast, me proud beauty! Should have popped off t' cap and added some then put tape over t' well. Begad! First it tumbled. Avast! Then streamlined in from about 100ft. Avast, me proud beauty! Need t' cut off about 5 inches and fly again.
