Comments
Two of the three motors in the pack completely ejected their propellant on ignition. The rockets (Rocketarium oddrocs, so no nose cone and no damage) remained on the pad. These are slightly older motors (from 2 Christmases ago now), but they have been properly stored in a cool, dry location and have not been subjected to any more handling abuse than any of my other motors.
