Motor made a loud "POW" almost immediately upon ignition. The burning fuel grain launched up through the body, burning the chute, forces damaged the body tube. The motor mount was damaged, motor case retained within the mount. Second flight of a home-made rocket, Estes motor mount. Mount adapter rings remained intact.
