Any thoughts?

You could have the burnout initiate a latch release, released at the nose end and hinging off at the bottom.

At what scale would you do that? It appears that 6 motors were dropped and another three remained, not including the ones that were firing inside the body tube. That's some serious power, even using A motors that's more than a D of external boosters, not including the motor that burns through the multiple cluster in the body tube.

Even if you did it large scale it would probably me hard for anyone to see what happened.

Maybe so. In that case, maybe use mini motors on the boosters. Depending on the weight maybe keep the flight down around 750 feet. But at that scale the release mechanism would have to be really light.

You don't need much for a release mechanism. I have used jet-x fuse as a retainer which burns at the end of the motor burn. Play with some ideas, it's fun.
