OK, chute mod is all done! It works fine on the bench, just need to re-install the tail to the fuse and try it out in the street. I'm currently printing up the 3DPUP nozzles for my F-4, and will install the tail after getting those put on first.
I put bigger magnets in mine as my install was not perfectly straight, and I needed the extra holding power to keep the door from popping open in flight.
One other thing I did was to grind down the tips of the hinge screws so that the chute does not catch on them. I also put a dab of hot glue over each as well for added insurance.3 PhotosPat
