I added one ounce of mass located in the ST-730 body tube just aft of the bulkhead and it dropped the rocket's optimal delay to 3.9 sec and it's velocity at deployment to about 11 ft/sec. I also changed the rocket's finish from 'polished' to 'gloss' to reflect the typical 'high end' finish that about 90% of rocket builders can achieve at best. Actually most will build to about a matt finish (filled and spray can painted) for sport launches.
