A little late, but here’s my latest stretched Terrier/Sandhawk flight. Flew on an I-345 to a G-58 to 2557’. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ri9sc8hvtqgvmw68k...o8xgdmeiou20occ&dl=0 You can catch a glimpse of the separation then ignition. Used an Eggtimer Proton in sustainer. I had a separation charge set at 0.6s after burnout then sustainer ignition at 1.2s. Set the deviation at 20% to inhibit. The booster had a MW RRC2+ with a backup Eggtimer Apogee and it coasted to over 1100’. I used JLCRs for both the booster and sustainer parachutes. I had an Eggfinder GPS in the sustainer which came in handy since it landed down in waist high beans. Had a time finding the booster since we thought it landed in 8’ corn, but it ended up in the beans too. Next flight will be an I to a H which should go to about 3,500' and I will put an Eggfinder Mini in the booster!

Nice flight. I'm glad you recovered both parts successfully. I plan to build and fly 2 stage in '24. I hope I have the same success.
