[QUOTE=ghrocketman]This weekend <snip>
All engines except the FSI D18-6 performed as designed....fired perfectly !
The FSI D18 resulted in the expected kaboom CATO....luckily it was expected and in a rocket that was borderline worthless.[QUOTE=ghrocketman]

I had several rockets that I made from K&S tubes (almost a perfect fit for 21mm motors) apropriately called the 'FSMTV' (Flight Systems Motor Test Vehical). The plan is attached. I'd use a motor from each package of FSI motors in it. If one flew with out CATOing, I could be resonably sure that the other motors were OK. Worked most of the time.....
