Thanks. Now I just need good weather and a day off, and for those to occur on the same day. -
I was measuring the force required to extract the lines from my stows, and all were between 8-12 pounds except for the two locking stows. Those measured around 14 pounds. Everything I've read suggested we want 8-12 pounds on all stows. Should I consider trying to find a band combination for the locking stows to bring them down a few pounds, or is 14 good for them? Seems like it would ensure they are the last to pop, but I also don't know what force the pilot chute exerts and would hate to be on the edge of them not popping at all. Opinions?
