First dual deploy attempt and first time building a 54mm motor. Some issues with installing the liner/liner oring/nozzle in the casing, but a bit of creative dialogue got it done. Flight was great until the main deploy event. Charge went off, separation occurred, main did not deploy. Landed on drogue in a somewhat newly plowed field (although heading towards frozen). No damage noted.
