Comments
Purchased in 2018. This was one of the very early Quest B4-6 motors where the label had to be removed to fit into an Estes motor mount. The casing burned through near what appeared to be near the end of the motor burn, burning through the motor mount and body tube, the pressurizing the body tube and popping off the nosecone approximately 100' above the launch pad.
