Well, at our last club launch I flew the infamous Trois Deux! It is one of our club members favorite rocket of mine..Things didn't go as planned and for some reason the laundry didn't come out and had a bad encounter with the ground.
All motors(2 A10PT, 2 C6-5 and 2 D12-5) lit properly, there was evidence that the D12's did fire off the ejection charges(which is used for deployment, the C6's are vented out their 'motor module')..Still not sure why the parachute didn't come out as it wasn't tightly packed in the tube..Mystery..
Here is the launch video..I didn't get the impact as it was just too gruesome..
And a picture of the damaged parts in the first stage of rebuilding- taking it apart..
