2nd flight for this rocket. Used an old (15+years) B6-4 that was layin' in me range box. Ya scallywag! Big mistake. Motor almost cooked t' rocket. Arrr! Rocket only made about 30-40 feet which be good as t' shock cord be melted in half. Sever scorch mark on nose cone and bad blisters on t' body tube. Well, blow me down! Will need a little T.L.C.  before flyin' again.
