Need help figuring out why my rocket crashes...

[FlexT_ape]

So, I built this rocket and for some reason it crashes on takeoff. Anyone  know why?

Looks like the joint breaks between the fairing and the rocket below so the rocket starts flying into the fairing.

Probably, the content of the fairing flips around a bit so you can try to use some (auto-) struts to keep it in place and maybe add some struts to support the connection between the fairing and the rocket.

Yeah...it looks like a decoupler goes after you started the engine, but before you released your clamps....then something up by your faring exploded and the rest of the rocket then explodes...

Looks like the rocket is pretty top heavy. Going to need to use auto struts...and maybe regular manual struts to secure that payload.....
