Comments
At ignition it exploded. I have had this motor for some time in an air tight ammo case with desiccant. I removed it from there a while ago, a year or so, perhaps to have handy to launch. I thought by taping both ends with masking tape would seal out moisture or humidity. But it was out in the open a while before i took that action. My best recollection.
