Comments
This was launched off of a piston....so the model got to about 60 feet as its nose was blown off by the propellant/delay going out the front. It was pretty much instantaneous. As the motor was so old (and I don't know what its history was prior to when I received it about 5 years ago), I don't think I'll complain to Estes about it.
