First of all this story is related to Robert Zylstra, I loved hanging out with
that guy.
So the story is a good lesson in rocket aerodynamics and the force the air
imposes moving over a rocket’s airframe in conjunction with motor burnout,
specific to drag separation.
We should all try to learn something from each of our flights and other’s
flights as well, makes us better fliers and safer.
I came across this old email today from 2013 which I will forward next.
