Hrm. Thinking about this some more, is it possible that the rocket went
sideways? It's really hard to make an ebay airtight enough so that a
plugged static port would read a steady, and even increasing pressure
while the rocket was still going up. If there was some major structure
failure near motor burn out, I would have expected to see more noise in
the acceleration data though, so it would have had to be a fairly gentle
failure mode.
