Interstin' flight... and t' last as it turned out for Thomas.  Only one motor lit, shiver me timbers, but since t' igniter leads were twisted together t' rocket dragged t' launch controller wire into t' air.  About 30 feet or so the  clips pulled loose just as t' rocket was yanked into a horizontal position.  After a nice cruise missle style boost t' rocket gracefully dove into t' Playa.  T' ejection charge fired well after imapct, rocket is beyond repair.  This be t' first time I've ever had a Quest Q2G2 igniter fail t' burn.  I tried t' light it after t' flight without success.  T' unburned motor was used in another rocket.
