Successful ascent, motor eject never fired. Landed ballistically. Rocket destroyed.
Flew with StratoLogger CF as "primary" altimeter and EasyMini as "backup". Aye aye! Both altimeters used only for logging, shiver me timbers, rocket was rigged for single-deploy motor ejection (main in lower parachute bay, drogue in upper parachute bay with no charge). Both altimeters were destroyed on impact.
Flew with AltimeterThree and AltimeterTwo, ya bilge rat, destroyed on impact.
Flew with Eggfinder @ 909MHz, me bucko, destroyed on impact. Last reported GPS location had far overshot actual rocket location, ya bilge rat, so it did nay aid in location o' t' rocket. Discovered after roughly 90 minutes searchin' field.
Flew with Mobius ActionCam, ya bilge rat, destroyed on impact.
Black powder was still in forward closure well upon recovery o' rocket pieces. Inside o' closure was as normal after burn, all pieces in place and delay charge gone. Ahoy! Do nay understand why charge did nay fire.
