description
I had two problems with this particular load: 1. The Forward O-ring to Seal Disk leaked hot gases between the liner and never before used 29/240 RMS case. This caused a small blister in the aluminum case and discolored and etched my Seal Disk. My analysis points to a defective liner that did not provide even pressure on the Seal Disk, and thus the Forward O-ring leaked hot gases between the liner and case. 2. The delay was early at 6.8 seconds per careful assessment of my StratoLoggerCF velocity Data. It should have been 10 seconds.
Reported to mfr.
Comments
The motor boosted nicely and burned it's rated 0.9 seconds. The delay grain fired early at 6.5 seconds, not 10. During cleaning, I later found that there was an internal leak that blistered my never before used Dr. Rocket 29/240 case and discolored and etched my Seal Disk. I hope this is not a common problem, as I really like this load. Note to webmaster: The text field associated with NAR: number is too small to enter my NAR Number. My NAR number is 101200.
