It's interesting to read the announcement. Looking back on it today, there really is no explicit prohibition on firing those recalled motors. TRA a while back in no uncertain terms decertified the Ellis J228 - there was no burn period. I always assumed at the time those E15 lots were decertified, but reading the S&T announcement "All Estes E15 motors to expire 7/1/98" it appears they were still OK to use. The implication of this is they might be OK in the NAR OOP motor program. I wonder if they have been allowed.
