I never had any catos with the notorious 24mm E15's from Estes in the 90's during their first foray into motors larger than D's either.


Funny how that works for different people buying in different parts of the country. Lots of folks had CATO problems with the FSI F100, E60, and F7 motors. My first batch of E60's were fine, and I never had any CATO's with either the F100 or F7, but the second batch of E60's I had CATO 2 out of 3. I never got any D13's to play with back in the day. Being a freshman in high school and totally broke, I could not afford them. I was out of the hobby when the E15's came out.
