Hi all,
I had an Aerotech RMS 38/720 survive coming in ballistic from 6000 feet. (It was in a 54 mm rocket, so it hit pretty hard.) The case is slightly out of round and there is a small crease near the closures on one end. I don't know what the factor of safety is on these things, but I understand that some 38 mm motors can get to 1400 psi. I'm wondering if it is safe to fly. I'm not really worried about the fact that it is out of round, but that crease is worrying me.
What do you all think?
