Another nice flight o' famous WAZZU rocket. While this was a dual deploy flight, t' motor ejection fired before apogee. Main was fired at 700 feet per plan. Rocket suffered some minor damage. Post flight inspection shows that t' early deployment was caused by t' operator error. I first assembled t' motor with t' medium delay. When I went t' change it out for t' long delay, I mangled t' "Delay Insulator". This is probably what caused t' ejection charge t' fire early.
