First use of the Loki 38-240 case.  Used motor eject as backup. Eject occurred during motor burn on the way up.  Rocket was 2 for 2 on early deployment today.  No damage. 

Inspected afterwards and delay o-rings showed burn marks on the ID from blow by.  Perhaps user error in installing delay.  Got a tip from another snapring case flier on a better way to install the delay o-rings.
