T' first (and last) flight o' me modified Estes Maxi Brute V2 on an AeroTech F30-4FJ. T' motor blew it's forward closure as t' rocket moved up t' launch rod and then proceeded t' torch and melt t' inside o' t' bird. Aye aye! T' fins and boat tail, although slightly melted, shiver me timbers, may be salvageable. Flight was on 12/01/12.
