That&#8217;s much lower than ASP&#8217;s published apogee estimates, but it&#8217;s carrying extra weight and the finishing certainly isn&#8217;t perfectly smooth. The paint and vinyl graphics aren&#8217;t too bad weight-wise, it came in about 9oz with the published target being 9.6oz. But in these flights it was also carrying an altimeter, chute release, and buzzer. Jolly Logic chute release just barely fits smoothly in the 1.9&#8243; tube with an 18&#8243; parachute if you fold the latter long and just thick enough to put tension on the band, and worked
