Oooops - I see Lee beat me to it. Sorry for the department of redundancy department....

And to answer your original question about "anyone else" - I have had one C6-5 fail. It was a more "normal" blow-the-nozzle-out kind of CATO....and yes Estes replaced both the motors and the model.


Bernard,
No worries. I’ve made a point numerous times, only to discover someone else made it earlier.

And you are right, that is a heck of a warranty replacement.
