Had a hard time lighting the motor. First igniter lit but did not light the motor. Second igniter did not light. Third igniter finally ignited the motor, but it sat on the pad and thought for a while before building up enough pressure to go. Ejection charge went off pretty early, resulting in a huge zipper. This rocket has taken much abuse. Think it can be repaired.
