Team Charlie goes to launch their rocket for a practice attempt on a beautiful day at Sixty Acres Park. Little did they know that the motor was about to CATO and fry the entire booster section of their rocket!

  • the forward closure part that hold the delay and ejection charge is missing. I hope that doesn't happen to my 29/40-120 casing

  • At least it wasn't a forgotten ejection charge on a 750ft flight (2009 Rules) on a practice flight before the Finals. Left a hole 1ft deep, courtesy of the rocket that eventually won 2nd in nationals for the '09 year.

  • o-rings

    

  • Not aerotech's fault, it's whoever built the engine. Have had the same problem numerous times. It has to do with an o- ring inside.

  • lolz

  • zomg!!! That almost hit Mason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 2nd

  • Yes it is a warrenty call to Aerotech. I have seen a few of late that have come up to pressure enough to leave the launch guide then quit, but this is the first I have seen go complete cato in that manner with the exception of a couple single use motors which catoed 15 into the lift off. I think they have an issue whith their new, cheaper AP supplier. Keep up the good work with the kids and hope they get to nationals.
