Yea Roy, do you have any pictures to upload?
As for me, I can post some but I'm in the middle of some other things (mainly my wife has to offload her 100+ pictures off of the digital). |

I inquired with two very reliable sources and here is what the answer is to the green motors. The casing supplier ran out of paper and couldn't get any in time to meet the Estes demands. They did have stock of blue and green paper that had been used for the engine shipping tubes ( I believe that was the Northeatern Paper Tube Company?), so, in order to keep up with customer demands, that was what was used for the engine casings. Same material, but colored. |

That was the reason I had heard as well back in the late 80's or so. A few blue cased Etes motors showed up on a postal auction (possibly one of Rich Jungclas') and I had asked the seller what he knew about them S. |

Estes was not the only company to have green casing 18mm motors.
