description
Propellant for this reload burned with very low thrust and for many seconds longer than outlined on thrust curve. This G76-G reload burned for almost 3 seconds. Also, during this time the delay grain failed to even light. Please note this reload was assembled properly and there was NO grease on the delay grain.
Comments
This motor had a thrust phase of almost 3 seconds. Much longer than this reload is intended to have. Delay grain did not light. Again, there was no grease on the delay grain.
