description
Motor ejection charge completely failed at launch. Rocket motor ejected charge and produced a huge flame from both the engine nozzle as well as from the forward end where the ejection charge should have been. We did NOT adjust the delay. We merely opened the motor packaging and installed as sent.
Comments
The motor burned for Appox 1 sec before flaming out of both ends, ruining my level-1 Cert attempt.
