Simulation Accuracy
The last simulation before flight predicted an apogee of 31600', which proved to be very similar to the true performance of the rocket. At 2.5% error, it seems our model is accurate enough to predict future flights of similar rockets.

Long Startup Time
The motor took significantly longer to light than previous tests, including the second P motor test that used an identical igniter with significantly more propellant surface area. During static fires the igniter was retained by gravity until the motor had built up enough pressure to eject it. Video evidence shows that the igniter fell out of the motor within a second of firing.
