One thing that I'd mention is that it takes a second or two for an
e-match to light a motor, so take that into consideration when planning
your flight. Otherwise it may take longer than expected before the
sustainer actually lights and starts producing thrust.
Also, I usually increase the pyro firing time. Yes, if the e-match is
going to light, it probably will in 0.05 seconds, but does it really
hurt to "hold the button down" for a little longer, just in case?

Hi Bdale/Altus mailing list folks,
I'm planning to do a two stage test on the weekend with an EasyTimer
handling the sustainer ignition with tilt inhibit enabled. My test logic
(at least how I understand it) is as follows.
Height Above Pad greater than 300m
Angle from vertical less than 20 degrees
Don't light until 5 seconds after launch
Do not fire after 6 seconds have elapsed in the flight.
Does this make sense to y'all? I'm going to be flying with an ematch in
the sustainer, not a motor, as this is a test. Hence me not being
worried about my relatively low Height Above Pad value.
Here's the config I've applied.
