ProtonFlight
This is the flight of the 1/12th scale Russian Proton booster rocket. The rocket flew on six Cesaroni K570s in the booster and one Cesaroni L1115 in the sustainer. The flight was perfect up through staging. When the booster separated, it seemed to me that the sustainer fired too quickly. If nothing else, this may have messed up the chute on the booster. I'm not sure how the staging event was supposed to occur. The big problem was with the sustainer. Close analysis of the clip seems to indicate that only 3 of the 4 popout fins deployed after staging. The rocket then veered off course and crashed into a heap in the desert.
