Comments
Received this motor as part of an old starter set I bought online, but had doubts about how it was stored. This was about what I expected, to be honest. Motor was obviously temperature cycled, and not Estes fault, plus it's way out of warranty. Nozzle and end cap blown out, spitting propellant all over the inside of the rocket and launch site.
