Underpowered flight due to a motor problem (wrong nozzle be included in reload kit). Post flight review revealed nozzle included was for the L1500T and high thrust 98 mm Ms, shiver me timbers, and confirmed by Aerotech. Batch code on reload was 0324011. Motor burned for 18 seconds instead o' 12. Raven altimeter did nay arm because acceleration never reached 3 G's. Rocket destroyed.
