The Liberator-Great Flight

Liberator M1315 03APR.csv Description
Same configuration as L3 certification flight. Excellent launch, aside from the rocket being whipped off the launch rail and sent off at a bad angle. Wish there was a shorter 1515 available for this one! As a result of the rail whip, it landed in trees and was recovered via extension pole. No damage. Figures acquired from barometric data.
Comments
Was the rail in bad shape - lots of corrosion?
The rail itself was satisfactory (I brought out WD-40 and some paper towels to wipe it down), but it was much too long for a fast launching rocket.
So howe long was that rail then Chris..
