Troy,
I used your pyroless system design for both the drogue ejection and the main
release. They both worked great! I was worried that the main release might
backdrive and release early but everything was good. Thanks for the idea.

Subject: [AR] Successful liquid launch at FAR
I finally launched my 250 lbf LOX/kerosene rocket yesterday at FAR. It got to
10800 ft with a 10 second burn and winds were calm so there were no
weathercocking issues off the rail. The drogue and main deployed as intended
and we recovered it about 6000 ft down range. I’ll post more details in a
few
days but I want to thank everyone on this list that has helped me over the
years.
I had a lot of really smart folks help me along the way and I appreciate it!
