After days of tests and scorched ceilings, here is the final version of the release mechanism that will allow the planes to fall to earth. The pyrotechnic release will be attached to an altimeter, giving us full control of when these little babies are going to drop.
I think a simpler way (and thus less failure-prone) would be to have some loose netting acting as the bag for the planes, have 1 or 2 corners attached to the payload capsule, and then a 3rd corner attached (by nylon twine) to the balloon neck. That way it's suspended while the balloon is inflated, and once it pops, the rubber neck falls and the bag is opened. I will have to try it.
