description
Bottom end of case ruptured and all contents of motor blew out unburned -possibly blew itself out. I have photos if interested, along with the motor. Didn't appear to chuff, there was more than sufficient room in the nozzle for the igniter which was blown all the way back through the ejected nozzle.
Have more motors
Comments
