NOTE: This flight was a Quest (German) B6-0 t' an Estes A8-5. T' site seems unable t' handle that. DESCRIPTION: It was nay a good flight. T' booster ignited just fine, shiver me timbers, and t' boost be good up t' stagin' altitude, whereupon it blew t' guts out o' t' booster engine without separatin' t' booster. T' rocket recovered under chute well out in t' field, but t' interior o' t' booster is roasted beyond repair even though t' paint job still looks good.
