Comments
I have launched this model multiple times with E motor. It was moving very slowly from launch. I immediately knew something was wrong. It had reached a far lower altitude than normal. The motor ran longer than 2.4 seconds, I believe there was an inconsistent burn. The engine seemed to explode out of the owners end of the motor.
