In a previously mentioned thread, the poster mentioned having a G71-4R eject almost immediately after motor burnout.

Well yesterday it happened to me too. Fortunately it was flown in my Sunward King Tut pyramid and since this pretty much comes to a stop at motor burnout an almost immediate ejection is not really a problem.

The only incident is that it ejected with a thunderclap as with this kit the top is closed off and the MMT is ejected out the rear and I was a tad generous with the BP obviously.;)

This is just an observation as I'm not going to complain to AT about it.

But if you don't tell them or somebody (MESS form comes to mind) they're not going to know if they have a problem. It could be a couple of isolated cases or it could be the tip of an iceberg. Telling the manufacturer does no harm.
