My G Force high power model rocket suffered a CATO (catastrophic failure) at the May 1st VAST, Valley Aerospace Team launch. It has been a good one, my first large rocket. I’ve had it for many years. It’s been flown I think at, at least seven different launch sites in three different states. I think I have launched it more than any other rocket I’ve had, even the small Estes type rockets.

After about a week of scrubbed launches they finally were able to pull off the launch the last day of their launch window about ten minutes before the window closed.
