Another favorite rocket destroyed, ejection charge failed to seperate the stages, rocket descended at 33 MPH and became a lawn dart penetrating the gound several inches. A favorite rocket that will not "CHive On"
any more. Debating to buy another one. Not the first issue I have heard of with this rocket failing to seperate.

I recently had the same problem of body tube separation with my new G-Force while using a similar type of engine. I found that adding a bit more black powder to the ejection charge fixed the issue.
