Add weight to NC-60 for stability if needed.

Flight Report

Intended for D12-5, D12-7, E15-7, E-30-7 motors. At full length (36") a D12-7 deployed the chute after apogee. With only the NC-60 in place on D12-7 the altitude was noticeably higher. I used streamers for this configuration which worked fine.
