description
Ejection at motor burn out
Reported to mfr.
Comments
Motor ignited as usual, rocket cleared the launch pad and flew normally until motor burn out. Expected burn time. Immediately after burn out the ejection charge ignited deploying the drogue chute violently. Casing and closures were not damaged. I have photos of the motor during disassembly and a video of the flight.
