Thanks. I had the staging inhibition set pretty tight, but the rocket really didn't get very close to reaching the required altitude. Got maybe 80% of the expected altitude. The idea is to inhibit flights like that, even though this one went vertical and could have lit with no issues.
For a Raven altimeter, the logic statement is "light the sustainer at altitude = A if time is less than T. The rocket got to about 80% of A when T came along. This might be due to the wind and the off-vertical trajectory, but it is also possible that the motor underperformed relative to the simulation.
Thanks for sharing. By how much did it miss the staging altitude? Best of luck with the next flight.

What was the altitude lockout criteria?
Also I agree, the serpentine path seems to indicate excess wind conditions
