In a project of this kind, it is strongly recommended to test anything critical if possible on the ground. My calculations suggested that a 4 to 5 gram black powder charge should be about right to effect separation at apogee. This is a critical event, so in order to verify the validity of my calculation, I carried out a static test. Select the link below to view the movie of that test.
