Launched as a 2-stage rocket, using the booster stage from our old Taser Twin. Since the Wizard wasn't designed or built as a 2-stage rocket, I believe there was a gap between the sustainer motor and the engine block inside the body. When the rocket staged, the sustainer lept across this gap and slammed into the engine block, causing the main stage to corkscrew at altitude.
