No, the leads were hooked up in parallel, but I just didn't make the igniters well enough. They both lit instantly, and then a few seconds later the motor flared up.
Yes, technically 2 G motors is still what is classified in FAA regulations as a "model rocket". But 2 G77's have more total impulse than many H motors. (Regardless of the fact one motor failed).
Loook at that rod whip in the high winds... classic need for rails on a day like that... at lest the rocket might have reached a velocity that *may* have made it stable enough to survive...
I would have wanted to punch that guy that kept saying, "Uh oh! Uh oh!"

why did the other motor not ignite..did you have them wired in series and not parallel. Always the risks in rocketry I am afraid.
