Tested the pyro ejection today with the help of a fellow rocketeer. The first test was with 1.5g of ffffg BP. This proved to be a bit much!

The second test used 1.0g of BP and worked great. This reassures me that the motors will also be able to eject the parachute safely with the 3 shear pins as their charges would be either 1.2g for the 29mm or 1.3g for the 38mm motors.
