Motor CATO - case tore off the plastic threads at the base of the reload and shot out the top of the rocket, knocking the Av. bay bulkhead into the avionics bay coupler.  Fortunately the only damage was a  cracked glue joint on the av. bay sled, a bent eye-bolt going through the av. bay and  some frayed fiberglass in the coupler.  A real testament to how tough this Wildman kit is!!!!!
