Re-folded me 12" chute and packed it into a slightly bigger rocket.  Foldin' chutes in t' field sucks.  Nice straight, arrr, high boost out o' t' tower, clean deployment at apogee.  Chute only partially inflated, only got 30 seconds on t' flight.  Turns out one o' t' shroud lined had slipped in t' swivel unbalancin' t' line and lettin' half o' t' chute collapse.
