Comments
The motor immediately exploded at ignition. The nose cone, parachute and shock cord were blown free. The casing was thrust up into the motor mount. The delay module was intact but the grain and rear enclosure were totally destroyed. The rocket was undamaged with two exceptions. The Aero Pack retainer was blown off and the shock cord was snapped. The reload was in a 3G casing with two spacers. The spacers were properly loaded with the rounded edges forward. The casing and spacers were not damaged.
