OUT O SIGHT Flights with the STAR GAZER.
I can recall that out of the 60+ FSI Motors that I flew I only had 4 CATO's
1 was a D18-0, 2 were E60's and 1 was a F100-6.

Someone who's name is lost to history once told me they were for gliders - either for rocket gliders that were built to level out into a glide when the propellant had burned off, or staged 'F' class boost gliders (E5-0 to E5-4).
Fact or Fiction? You decide.
