Thanks everyone for the compliments.

I originally did it in Rocksim v8, then updated it in v9. I love the pod feature

Here is some of the flight data.

Wind speed model: Slightly breezy (8-14 MPH)
Low wind speed: 8.0000 MPH
High wind speed: 14.9000 MPH

Launch guide length: 36.0000 In.
Velocity at launch guide departure: 46.9705 ft/s
The launch guide was cleared at : 0.233 Seconds
User specified minimum velocity for stable flight: 43.9993 ft/s
Minimum velocity for stable flight reached at: 33.4321 In.

Using a delay time of : 7.000 Seconds
Velocity: 56.6158 ft/s
Altitude: 882.89042 Ft.

P: Parachute Deployed at : 8.651 Seconds
Velocity at deployment: 56.6158 ft/s
Altitude at deployment: 882.89042 Ft.

The deployment speed is obviously way too fast, and I think I need a longer launch rod. I'm going to keep working on this one though.
