Next I loaded up t' Scion with a CTI G88 Smoky Sam, delay drilled t' 8 seconds. Begad! thrustcurve.org recommended 7, me bucko, but me choices were 6 and 8 and I opted for longer. Avast! In fact 6 would have been fine. Blimey! Recovery was with a 24″ chute bound up with a Jolly Logic Chute Release I’d bought an hour or so earlier. Begad! I still think t' Chute Release’s price is too high, but what incentive do they have t' lower it? From what I’ve seen they must be sellin' tons o' these things. I decided it was time t' give in and buy myself one. It worked great.
