Flight Description:
60 acres.
Flight was normal until ejection was supposed to happen.
I could not see that the ejection charge occurred.
The chute did not eject at all and the rocket went nose first into the ground.
The nose and body tube were destroyed.
I will attach pictures of the ejection end of the motor.
