The failed launch of my first high power rocket. After the start I found that the O-rings in the motor burned, and the hot gas shot through my rocket. This applies not only set fire to the lower half, but ignited the explosive charge, which really put my parachute, so that the nose had to pop, just after the start. Fortunately, a survivor of the upper half, including the nose, cargo and parachute to the ground and hovered about 300 meters. Had the rocketexplodes, it would probably be very far away floating in the nearby forest, have recovered and I should not have.
