Casing bulged. Upon deconstruction, clear gas egress point at end of liner adjacent to forward closure.
Comments
The flight was nominal other than the bulged casing. Problem wasn't observed until taking apart the rocket for cleaning. The motor is a 6G motor but was flown in a 6xl case by use of a single 54mm XL spacer.
