Comments
This is my first E12 failure. I burned probably 9 E12's in the last 2 years. This motor was purchased in the winter 2013/2014. Stored in my range box in a cabinet in my unheated, attached garage. Rocket (Estes V2) never left the pad. Forward 3 inches of airframe zippered, otherwise flight worthy IMO.
