Nosecone Riser

12 in

20 in

Better to make this 16 inches to make sure we clear the nose cone.

S Long Riser

200 in

190 in

We can also cut down on this a little - we just need it to

 be longer than nose cone riser + drogue riser + load-bearing riser which is 170 inches (using my suggested nose cone riser length) so maybe do that + 10 inches = 180 inches.

Also we need to add in extra length for TD+TD Loops.

S Drogue Riser

S Load Bearing Riser

S Main Riser

160 in

130 in

I think this is a bit long (we don't need to apply the same 4x body length rule for energy dissipation since we'll ideally be deploying under drogue) and the longer it is the higher risk we have for line tangling prior to main inflation. I would change this to maybe 130 inches.

S Motor Riser

50 in

50 in

Staging cone Riser

16.29 in

10 in

I think this can be a bit shorter given how short the staging cone is, maybe make this one 10 inches. 

B Long Riser

271.43 in

240 in

Same comment as above: just need it to be longer than staging cone riser + drogue riser + load-bearing riser which is 220 inches (using my suggested staging cone riser length) so maybe do that + 10 inches = 230 inches. We also need to add in extra length for TD+TD Loops.

B Drogue Riser

192.71 in

B Load Bearing Riser

B Main Riser

same as sus: I think this is a bit long (we don't need to apply the same 4x body length rule for energy dissipation since we'll ideally be deploying under drogue) and the longer it is the higher risk we have for line tangling prior to main inflation. I would change this to maybe 200 inches.
