I wanted to try a motor out i made last year to see if it still worked after sitting for so long. The shell wasn't labeled so i have no idea what it is and the video was shot through a tree,i felt like sharing anyhow.

Yeah i had a awful launch tube in the mud,i tried propping it up better but it was a little squirrely on takeoff,lol 76/23/1 Benz/Oxychloride/vaseline and the tubes were waxed as well. It was a dark color fuel so i'm pretty sure it had TIDI in it as well. I put a piece of duct tape over each end of the motor and placed them on a shelf so they were not disturbed or knocked around and that's about it. I have since omitted the oxychloride for for red iron oxide and TIDI for titanium sponge in my new ones and like them better. I realized they have plenty of power with plain red iron oxide and sound a lot better as well. I feel like the delay was a little short on this one,I never get it quite the same motor to motor and my height is a little low time to time.
