Yeah...more composite propellant than I will ever burn in my lifetime, no doubt!
Largest solid propellant motor ever fired, I guess. Earl

Ignition was pretty violent. No chuffing, but a chunk of something went flying out. I'm not sure if it was the Estes Solar Igniter or maybe a pinch of wadding.

It makes me wish they had built the full length 260 inch motor back in the golden age of real rockets.
