  • how did you let the booster rockets fall off the main one and let the main one start later? with a timer or so? , also VERY nicely done!!

  • @oelewapperable Yes, there are two redundant systems on board. One is based on pressure inside the booster, so that when it drops to almost atmospheric pressure it activates a servo motor to release the next stage. The secondary system just uses a timer from lift off to activate the release mechanism.

  • Amazing, it would be great without the airborne video but it is fantastic with it.

  • @ScienceguyOrg Thank you Bill. It was a lot of fun flying this rocket.

  • Once again, really amazing flights. Way to go!

  • @kwixson Thanks Kevin :)
