AFAIK, all of the production Estes E15s were produced in 1993. (The "X" in the date code.) I had no trouble with the three packs that I bought. However, all of those motors were made on 23 Jul 93. Three of the E15s in the photo had one of the recalled production codes on them. The E15-4s were great in the 1.9" diameter Aerotech models.

Hi Mike , all of the E15's that I have; both the E15-4's and the E15-8's have the same
motor code 10X5. I have flown other E15's with out a problem but was going to launch these and was told that they where on a recall list. that was years after I bought them.

Stephan,

I had had no idea FSI ever used boxes for their motors - thanks for sharing the photo's.

Yes, the 21x70mm motors were bagged - see the B-3's in the pic pic below. I have at least 1 bag ea of the A - D's in bags. Also in the group shot below is a F10-2 special motor that FSI did for the Internats glider competition. I think I bought that one from Dale..

I bought my first FSI motors in 1968. I wish I had left some in the boxes, but I removed them to put in my motor box. I still have a dozen or so 21mm motors, a F100, a F7 that has all of the marking faded, and a couple of bagged three paks of 18mm motors.

I also rediscovered an unopened pink blister pak of Estes B14-5 motors. Forgot all about them. I do have a couple of tubed B14s.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the FSI boxes. Memories....

Chas
