Launched my first K motor on Sunday!

Launched my first 54mm motor (K400) on Sunday. This is a head end dual deployment system. We ground tested it and thought were good for the nosecone but a couple things went wrong the drogue parachute ripped away the and main didn't deploy. We watched for it to come down but nobody could see it. Luckily I had a Tracki! GPS in it which the app took me right to it. The only real damage was my 3D printed sled which broke. On the bright side I joined the Mile High Club! The next time I launch it I'm going to put the deployment charge in the top of the nosecone so it will push the chute out.

It’s a Rocketry Warehouse 4” fiberglass. Think it was called the Defiance. I don’t see it on their site anymore.

Isn't that on the Mad Cow site?
