Comments
Reporting for a fellow club member. This was their L2 cert attempt. Reload was a Pro38 5G 654J316-17A PINK. Motor ignited for perhaps quarter of a second. Video showed some pink colour exhaust before the CATO. Recoil force of the explosion caused the 4inch 6.6lb rocket to bunny-hop up and off the 5ft 1010 rail. Rocket was damaged at the coupler and upper airframe interface.
