I see that the G-force is designed to separate in the middle instead of
blowing the nosecone off the body to release the parachute. I'm guessing
that it is that way because the ejection charge does not contain enough
expanding gas to fill the big body tube and still have enough "umph" to blow
the nosecone off. I'm contemplating extending the small diameter gas tube up
into the forward body tube and than adding another bulkhead at the top of
the extended gas tube to trap the gas in the upper part of the rocket so the
nosecone will blow off like a conventional design.
Any thoughts????
