Before I start, I want to give credit to Gestour for making most of the amzing rocket! I decided to revive an old project, and here is the out come! Group 1 and throttle for engine, group 2 for 1st stage separation, 3 for second separation, 4 and full throttle to open top, 5 to eject top, and 6 to release glider! Group 7 for glider parachute.It doesnt quite reach hypersonic. With some skill, it can be flown. I hope you enjoy! (Btw I was typing this with a bloody nose, gotta get a tissue brb)
