You mentioned the D13 engines were subject of a recall.
I read and kept most all correspondence from rocket manufacturers.
I don't remember any recall notice sent from Estes.
Maybe the recall only reached the hobby stores.

Right after they became available, my first D13 was in a Goblin.
Ignited, went up five feet and blew a fireball out the top.
The inside tube was sooty but no other damage to the rocket.

I never tried the other two engines. They are stored with some other old engines,
still in the mailing tube.
