You may have been the victim of rod whip. a 1/4"x6' rod will flex quite a
bit. If it's aluminum and not steel, it will flex even more. An E-Z-I is a
pretty big rocket for that size rod. Doesn't it have 1/2" lugs on it?

Bob, she was referring to the LOC 4-29SS. Although it did come with 1/2" launch lugs.

Then I agreed that if we take the mass into account, the whole system will slow, but that, in the frame of the rockets, the leading rocket is trying to travel faster and so it drags the trailing rocket faster via the rod ...
