So, I'm a few weeks from an attempt at my first HPR airstart.
With that being said, I wondering if it makes sense to ready up the entire stack and launch without lighting the sustainer. I would use a dummy motor in the sustain to simulate close to flight condition. I thinking this is a good way to test my drag separation.
Setup is as follows.
Loc terrier booster 38mm
Loc tomahawk 38mm dual deploy with eggtimer proton to burn all the charges. Eggtimer mini in the NC to track the sustainer.
Thoughts and recommendations?
