This was a test using a nozzle with a 3/8" throat, and our standard ABS/Paraffin fuel. The oxidizer tank we used was the same tank we will be using for our first flight, approx a 12cu' tank, charged to 2000PSI. Approx 30% of the paraffin fuel grain was ejected, thats why you suddenly see power decrease. All in all it went well and will resemble what we see on our first flight, although it will be charged to a higher pressure and will hopefully burn out the entire fuel grain
