Here's the first Launch of my Orion. Happy with the build. With an Estes 24mm D12-7 you can see that the post burn coasting phase it goes horizontal and then then it seems like a delay with the ejection charge only feet from the ground. Luckily the parachute deployed flawlessly and there was no damage to the rocket. My thought is that the fins somehow threw it off course. There was no wind whatsoever. If you have a theory about how it took off so straight and then went off course while coasting...and why a 7 second delay seemed to take too long let's consider it.
