Lost one of my favorite rockets last weekend @TTRA Tampa on a failed F50-6 of all things, even flew an E9/8 without issue :y:. Anyway, my PSII Nike Smoke is toast, looks great from the outside but the motor tube blew the top piece off past the centering ring and a nice whole in the side. Amazingly enough it did not exit the B/T - so I have a cool shelf queen at least.
Yes I filed a MESS report-
Yes Christine @ Estes is already in the process of making it right . And YES I will continue to fly and buy Estes product,
Now If only I could get em to pay for paint and time :kill:
