description
Rocket corkscrewed about 20' after clearing rod, then flew a mostly horizontal path never gaining more than about 150'. A large chunk of debris (presumably a chunk of nozzle) occluded the nozzle opening vectoring and decreasing the thrust output. Kit and onboard alitmeter were a total loss.
