Default SRB separation Ideas for Estes Titan IIIe

Just wanted to pick some brains on some ideas of the best way to have functional SRBs on this model which is actually a clone of the original.

I’m not going to use the Estes fin setup, I will be using clear fins through the wall on the main airframe.

Also just B6 or C6-0 in the SRB’s. I’ll compare burn times with the main motor to make the selection.

Two problems right up front are:

1: popping the nose cones is a problem due to the upper cargo bay being in the way.

2: hinging the SRBs is a problem because they will most likey travel into the exhaust of the main airframe engine upon release.

I’ve got some ideas but wanted to here from you all first.

The pictures are to give you a picture of the Rocket, mine isn’t built yet.
