Interesting motor failure and the rocket still continued to fly safely to recovery and landing

The Maxi Icarus Rocket was a two stage rocket.  It was boosted with an Estes D12-0 to a C11-7.  The Booster failed but was still able to ignite the upper stage to a successful liftoff and safe landing. The booster section was repaired and ready for another launch.
