Well, I had a great flight on my scratch built two stage rocket, named Three Seconds to Rush. It flew on a CTI K1440 WT booster, staging to a CTI J453 White. Perfect timing on everything all around, and Ian Watson got a beautiful photo stream here:

Hi Bruce,
I wish I'd been there to see that one fly!
Can you provide details on the staging? Electronics used etc.
Great shots by Ian Watson. He sure does a great job of capturing our rockets!
Cheers!

Hey Len, I've been using a Raven for my staging quite successfully. I do a simple time/altitude test in Rocksim, one flight at 0 degrees, another at 20 degrees, and note what altitude the 20 degree flight reaches at my desired ignition time. Then I set the Raven to only fire if that altitude is achieved by the set time. I've had good luck with it, both in lighting as required and in one case not lighting after an anomaly.
