No drag chute disconnect while in air?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Folks,

 

I was doing a spin test with an instrument approach flight the other night in the Mig 21.

(Great fun LN thanks).

 

I had to deploy the drag chute to get out of the spin which worked well. I then tried to disconnect the chute but it would not come lose. I even tried burning it off with the afterburner.

It would not disconnect until I was on the ground.

 

Has anybody managed to get the chute to disconnect in the air?

 

Did I experience a chute disconnect failure?

 

Thanks.

I have yet to be able to get the chute to drop via my assignment on my X55. Deploys ok, but randomly goes away a couple minutes after hitting the switch, then trying full throttle like you are. This is on the ground though.

the disconnect button has a cover, so if you're trying to disconnect it with a keybinding you'll need to add one to raise the cover before you press the button.
