Comments
As noted above, the ejection charge fired while the motor was about 0.5s into its typical 0.9s burn, as reported by the accelerometer data of the FlightSketch Mini that was aboard as well as a frame-by-frame look at a video taken of the flight. I have nine more motors from that batch. FlightSketch data are here: https://flightsketch.com/flights/4323/
