Flight Log - 2017-04-01 - K Sonesen's Goblin 5.5
This is a Polecat Aerospace kit featuring fiberglass nose cone and fiberglass wrapped body tube. 54mm motor tube can be adapted with Aeropack fixture to 38mm. 54mm Aeropack motor retainer is used. No nose weight was added or needed per kit instructions. I created an altimeter bay in the nose cone and planned to use the Cable Cutter for main deploy but have heard there are reliability problems. The Jolly Logic Chute Release is my preferred solution now for the main deploy.

Great flight. This time I used a Fruity Chutes Chute Liner to rebundle the 48" Fruity Chutes Classic main chute with the Jolly Logic Chute RElease set to deploy at 700'. Picture perfect deployment.
