Good boost until rocket came apart around 4000 feet. Appears in video nosecone/payload section came apart during boost despite venting and shear pins. This has happened before with this kit per the manufacturer. Nosecone was too loose i believe as well as the payload bay utilizing a coupler into the AV bay that is only 2 inches ling, as per the design.
Would change both things if i ever build one again. Booster was in-good condition except for a broken fin from free falling with no parachute.
