I believe some of the 'bad' motors were 15X. For some reason I remember reading that the 10X's were bad, too, but I could be wrong. I flew 8 or 10 of them before my first and only CATO. Called Estes to report it, and whoever answered the phone asked me a couple of questions ("Was it a big rocket?" "Yeah, a scratch-build from parts") and sent me 2 packs of D12's and a Designers Special (no complaints about that!!). They were really fun motors.

ok, having flown or sold all my remaining E15's... with only a few catos.... have a question .

there were certain date codes that were initially recalled on thes4e - anyone still kow what those were ?

I think the 10x5 is ok, some casing I have are marked such .

the last pak I had ( sold on ROL ) was the 'recall' date code, as I recall, so never opened em up and tried them .
just don't remember at present what the 'bad' dates were.

i *DO* reccomend clustering them up, maiden flight of my 3.2" upscaled Estes Pathfinder was 4 x E15's, same with my Estes "pro" Patriot - both great ! :-)

later catos will go unmentioned, cost me a couple nice birds :-(
