My static test: (don't worry about language, words are not needed to explain it).
It's very, very simple - but, it's working!
Tomorrow, I will test it in real flight above 50 metres / 165 feets.

What do you mean by "to trigger"? If you think about winding elastic, it's simple - just I'm winding about above 360 degrees that parachute is deployed in 20-30 seconds (enough to pump by my compressor).
