I suspect, with its tiny nozzle, that staging micromaxx motors would present the same hard-to-light issues that the Apogee micro motors were apparently known for.

I have a little stash of them, and actually built a rocket for the B2-0 to B-9 motors, but have never had the chutzpah to fly it, mostly out of fear it would be lost (out of sight). Concern for lighting the sustainer was secondary. But I did pick up some of Apogee's staging ignitors to use with it, in case I get ever get back around to it.

...

Personally, my priority for new BP motors is high thrust boosters: B14-0, C20-0, D30-0, E40-0, etc. These would solve lots of my staging problems.

Interestingly enough, in another recent thread here, a 3-stage Centuri bird was being discussed. The directions called out only one motor to be used in the 1st stage (of 3-stages flights): the B14-0.
