Burning propellant ejected
Comments
Motor ejected burning propellant about 1 sec into 1.5 sec burn. Caught the incident on the on board movie camera and the on board accelerometer which spiked. The motor continued to burn at about 1/2 the expected thrust level and the rocket achieved an altitude about 400' less than expected. The recovered motor showed no evidence of damage.
