+About a 2.5 second burn.  Sadly, we only got pressure and not load cell data,
+so no real characterization.
 
 No liner burn-through, no discernable throat erosion, nozzle end o-rings
 were fairly cooked but no evidence of blow-by.

+4 grain 54mm Everclear motor with pyrodex pellet ignition in 3-inch test
+mule flown on 10 October 2020 at October Fun Fly in Argonia, KS.
+
+Used 4-grain 54mm Brazell case, #32 (0.5" throat) Loki-style nozzle, forward
+closure had pressure sensor and EasyMotor protototype mounted.  Three grains
+with 0.5" cores (I think!), nozzle end grain bored out to 0.75" core.
+
+Burnsim called this a 21% K-788, with about 1.97 sec burn time, and max
+pressure on a somewhat progressive burn of 923.6 psi.
+
+## Results ##
+
+Perfect flight, no damage.  However, due to firmware issues, the EasyMotor
+failed to launch detect and so we got no motor data recorded on this flight.
