Actually, a sticky rod wasn't the problem or else it would not have gotten off the pad on the second-stage. The launch lug is on the third-stage. The problem was the motor hook on the first-stage got snagged on the stand-off. I usually check this before I leave the pad, but sometimes the wind will shift the rocket's position on the pad.

That sucks it was stuck on the launch pad for the first stage, One of my first rockets I launched off was a 3 stage rocket with same engines as the ones you used in that rocket and boy was it a great launch.
Good luck with another 3 stager.

Luckily, there was no damage to the camera, and the damage to the rocket wasn't too bad. I repaired it and flew it again. See my other video dated August 20. I used smaller motors in August because the recovery area was smaller.
