I took my 2 boys to the DARS launch this morning. It was a cooler morning (at least for us here in Texas) with overnight temps at or just below freezing, but comfortably in the high 40's by the time of the failures. The failures where on Estes E9's with a Date code of A 06 28 11, but they had different delay's, E9-4 and E9-6. I did get some interesting photo's of the failures as the occurred:
Is this a known batch of failures?
Would the cold temperatures be a factor (motor's where store in the garage in a range box)?
I've filed a MESS report at motorcato.org and emailed Estes. It there anything else I should do?
The good news of the day was a recovered keychain camera found from a June 1015 launch. The camera appears to be functional despite the weather and apparent mower rash!
Enjoy,
Jack
