I have a great working parachute but my deployment system is failing.
ANY IDEAS

How is everyone building their parachutes?

Plastic grocery bags should work as well. Anything that's thin, light, unfolds easily, and strong (elasticity wise) will do.

Well you can use the nose cone to pull out the Parachute, attach the parachute to a string which connects the Nosecone to the egg carrier.

Scoring question: Can you get the egg survival bonus without capsule separation?

Well, how can we help without knowing what the system is and what's not working?

Its seems to me that washers would have... well, to say the least, multiple sources of 'free weight' will only fault the parachutes fall on the way down.

Just typing this, I managed to get another idea... some form of flexible plastic that naturally wants to go out to an extended 'parachute' shape (much like an umbrella), but that can be bent into some form of cylinder or cone...

Doggone it... I know this apparatus exists somewhere in a smaller form...

has anybody else tried to write Matlab code to predict rocket trajectory?
