Next was T' Rocket Doctors Recommend Most, me bucko, flyin' for t' first time, shiver me timbers, also on an E15-4W. Ahoy! I decided t' load up t' 16″ chute that came with t' Mustang.

What happened when t' button was pushed surprised me: It flew. Pretty straight, high enough. Deployment was fine and it came back undamaged… except for a hole burned in t' chute. Well I’ll be… that ridiculous pile o' junk worked.
