I had a new anomaly this weekend too. A 24 MM F36 in my Executioner, well... didn't work so good.
Same deal, immediate launch followed by an almost immediate chute deployment. Rocket cartwheeling thru the sky under thrust zippering as it went.
No casualties other than to my pride and the bird. All motor bits were accounted for after motor assembly but I could have put the delay in backwards I guess. The casing looks and cleaned up fine, but I suspect the flightworthyness of the forward casing as it was very sooty and now discolored. The delay liner was as you can see, a bit charred.
The resultant condition of the motor mount was a bit of a surprise after opening up the rocket. At least the casing stayed in place as evidenced by the crushed motor mount tube and blown aft centering ring. But the motor mount blown into two??? *scratches head*
So experts, what did I do wrong???
