My LexxJett flew for the first time yesterday. First two flights were on E12-4's.
The flights went well even on a windy day in Georgia with a tight landing window. However, landing on the tailfins first wasn't kind.
A club buddy recommended a parachute mount at the CG with fishing line (running into the nosecone) to make the rocket come down flat.
I rigged this up today and test dropped off my deck. It seems to work very well. I may shrink the parachute for bigger motors going forward as the flat rocket also slows decent.
Has anyone else tried this? Any advise if so?
I'll post some pics later.
