Like D64 said, that pretty much was the flight report.
I planned to fly saturday, but leaving the forward closure in the hotel room never helps. Sunday morning Manny and I got up bright and early to get this flight in as soon as possible. Weather looked terrible, but we didn't drive all the way out there to NOT fly. The rest is best left to the video.

We think the cause was bubbles in the propellant caused in a step in the propellant processing. It may be the same failure mode as Manny's since he cast both my N and his O in the same batches.
All in all I had a really great time at Aeronaut, so I wasn't too upset with the failure. Nowhere to go but up after this (take that as a pun if you want to).
Anyway, this project couldn't have been possible without a ton of people. Huge thanks to Manny of course for spending all the time and money to make a motor, use his case, drive out with me and assemble the motor. Also, huge thanks to Chris Atteberry for lending us his tower and being so nice to all of us young guys the whole weekend. Thanks to all the guys out there who helped me Prep (Kyle, Steve, and the rest of the USTR guys), Thanks to Tony for donating the O-rings. We forgot them and were *This* close to not flying at all. Also, thanks to Aeropac for hosting Aeronaut. Great launch.
I'll post a little more later.
