Casing split
Comments
About 1/2 second after ignition the motor casing split. Model was a Quest "Courier" used for school egg-loft event. Model had just cleared the launch rod when the cato occurred. ***this is report 1 of 2 failures of the same motor. This is a newer "Weco" motor with red printing from the factory and with a black and white self-adhesive label that wraps about half way around the casing.
