description
Motor was about 1second I to burn when it cato’d. It popped hard enough to rip a fin off the rocket, popped off the Aeropack retainer, and had burning grains eject out of the rocket as the motor fell out of the rocket. It appears the the rear closure oring might have failed as well as there was clearly burning melting the plastic threads.
Comments
As described about one second. This was not my motor but witnessed the prep of the motor, and RSO the rocket. The flyers could not find the tube with date code.
