A solid fuel M Motor flies out of control randomly around the launch pad while spectators run and watch. It is immediately followed by a hybrid "M" motor rocket failure. The hybrid motor is a blowdown type which causes a "buzzing" vibration that spoofs the avionics into triggering the ejection charge and deploying the parachute early while under boost. LDRS XX Lucerne Dry Lake, CA

  • dumbasses.

  • This was custom-made for the Benny Hillifier.

  • HAHA. wow. What was the solid M? must have been CTI, that was a LONG burn.

  • Uh, I don't think those guys are Tripoli or NAr safe distance away for a M Motor!

  • that second one was kinda funny, infact they both were, everyone like their rockets to work, but if its gunna fail, might as well do something interesing.
