Comments
Second of two motors from this pack, Lifted off, got maybe 15 feet in the air, blew out the front end, blew through the rocket's baffle, wrecked the shock cord mount, destroyed a brand new 18" Top Flite nylon chute. Not using the last one in the pack - they've done enough damage. NAR number field doesn't want to take my actual number 100727 - tries to truncate it to 5 digits.
