description
The two identical batch of motors ejected agressively. One rocket that has launched successfully several times never experienced this agressive ejection reaction. The Black Star Voyager rocket actually separted at the area of a glued coupler. The other rocket was a boost glider kit. The ejection charge deployed the booster pod so aggressively that is shredded the plastic parachute.
