Thanks for posting this video. My two-stage flight was on an N5800 to N1100. It's about a minute into the video. Reached just over 100K. This is the only video of the flight that I have seen.
At 0:26 that was Mark Grant's rocket on a 4" O5400 motor - sheared nozzle retainer and forward closures screws. At 0:41 that was Lou Grant's "Come to Daddy" on the same 05400. Same sort of failure - rocket hit 5000ft and came down under chute. (It simmed to 115,000 to 125,000 ft) Rocket is fine. The vid from the blast cam shows the lift off, but the failure is out of the shot - then the entire liner and all 10 grains of propellant land right in front of the cam. Makes the watcher flinch.
This is awesome to see. Still missing rocket cams. The best videos is when there is a layer of clouds and you can see when the clouds are below instead of above. How many people are using home made propellant?

Lots of people are making their own propellant. I would say the majority of the flights use motors of their own manufacture.
