I327DM cato (mfg code 11301702).  On Saturday night April 1 2023 I flew this reload in my night tube fin rocket.  At about 1 sec after ignition the motor catoed destroying the lower portion of rocket entirely.  I never found the forward closure or seal disk.  The case itself was split along it's entire length,  destroying it and the aeropack 54 to 38 mm adaptor.  I did find the lower closure with some thread damage and the aeropack retainer.   Although it was quite a spectacular night launch it was quite unexpected (lol).  It was assembled per the instructions with all the O rings installed properly.  The reload was purchased a number of years ago from balsa machining services and stored in our dry Arizona environment  with no heat of humidity extremes.
