Howdy,
I have been working on a little FPV project for a while now and the maiden flight is about to happen. I made a plane that is ramp launched with a parachute recovery. Has anyone made a parachute rig that works well? My parachute is a 5' ripstop canopy with super strength fishing line. I have it installed in a little backpack with servo to a rubber band that releases it. How have other people done parachutes? Reliable deployment methods? I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance,
~Maxwell~

You tube found me this!
I may install a version of this spring flap only backwards (my servo is already mounted)
