so the last flight the BT got a crumple just above the fins. so... sanded out the crumple, used putty, and repainted. NOT perfect, but i'd have to remove all the decals, repaint the BT, and then (buy and) re-apply the zephyr decals. well maybe later for painting the whole BT.
i purchased the dual conversion kit from Apogee, and previously purchased an RRC2 mini. i've been playing with the RRC2 mini.. and have it setup for deployment of the drogue chute at apogee, and main chute deployment at 500'.
as for the ebay, i have that put together, and it's ready to be painted. the 18" BT... i used 400 grit sandpaper to roughen up the glassene, and have filled in the spirals.
i'm still unsure of what next.. i have ordered the Terminal blocks, and 22 gauge red/blk wire, both at Amazon. i have capsules for deployment charges.
all this.. i'm not sure i'll be ready next saturday for a dual-deployment flight. we'll see..
side note: i've been studying.. and gonna go for my L2 this saturday with the Zephyr.
