I haven't found a suitable high-end "E" or "F" motor that has a suitable time delay. I suppose you could customize a reload delay chain to get the optimum deployment time...
The G55-15 is a sweet motor, though. Four of these park it over 6600'...

Well, I ran a sim with the chad staged D12-0 to D12-7 in the design. A good friend of mine has flown that set up several time at local and national launches but I was surprised that it really isn't such a great performer with that set up. It only sims to 2,033 feet chad staged (simulation #6). I left the original flight data from your standard flight profiles and it would appear to make more sense to just fly it with a cluster of four E9's to 1,657 feet .....
It was pretty cool to watch but that cost of an additional four D12's is only working out to an extra 376 feet in altitude
