Gene's L3 Project - "Main Event"

I'm using this area to link to important docs and images for my L3 project.

My L3 was March 14th at Snow Ranch - east of Stockton CA. Here are some flight files to view the results - which was perfect!

All results matched expected very close. The altitude was within 10% of what Rocksim predicted with 9526 feet measured. The main parachute was made by us (Fruity Chutes) with a measured descent speed of 17.5 fps. Predicted descent speed was 17.3 fps. The Fruity Chutes 24" Drogue measured descent speed was 50fps which was ideal.
