Well, I gotta solder the kit together first. And wire in a battery. And screw in a small cup holding 4f black powder to eject the main chute.....

I hope it all works for the March launches.

Neat! Do you have rocket-mounted video to capture the rocket chute being deployed?

Given that you’ve basically just announced on the internet that you’re building a bomb, how long till the guys in the black Suburbans turn up?

Altitide based. G force activated safety. But  some have timer based as well for that or other events, like staging ignition, etc.
