From the picture at the beginning of the video, I thought he was going to fly that thing in his neighborhood!
My chute door is side-hinged, and the deployment is pneumatic. I used the setup from Details4Scale for the BVM F-4. I had to make a custom tube and modify the plunger to fit as the space is a bit smaller than on the BVM F-4, but it works well.
