description
Only half of the ejection clay cap came off causing not enough charge to eject the parachute and rocket crashed. I had both motors in this pack do the same failure causing both rockets to not eject the parachute.
Comments
Ejection charge not enough to deploy parachute. Left half of the clay cap on the motor casing.
