@smurfmacaw I'm so glad you found this video of your flight. That goes down in my memory as one of the most spectacular 2 stage flights I've ever witnessed. Thanks for updating the flights status, it really was something to see.
@dkrause The delay was 2.5 seconds plus about a half second for the M650 to pressurize (Used an Estes E motor for the ignitor). It was less than a half mile away. Most of the time to get it back to the flightline was downloading the altimeter data and packing it up for the quad.
I could have safely used up to about 5 seconds delay between staging but 2.5 seconds seemed like forever during the flight . Glad you enjoyed it, it was a blast to fly.
Gorgeous flight, nice, scary delay, and a great video on a perfect day.

That was a glorious flight. Shoot a camera in her, and you'll probably get a nice dark sky.

Wasn't mine, but the dude who flew it was on a quad holding a tracking antenna. I believe it took him more than an hour to track it down.

I love the delay between the stages

That was very cool. The delay before the second stage was a bit scary, then it blasts outa sight.
