I need to go back and find it.Contact Estes customer service and send the pictures. Do you have a picture of the defective motor, too? They may help you out.
Is that a picture of lighting a fuse with a lighter?
Glad you got the kits replaced. Estes has absolutely phenomenal customer service.
Not to sound paranoid, but I've seen too many Estes E motor catos to trust them at all. That's not to say other sizes don't cato, (had a 13mm A10-3T cato in a mini X-wing fighter once), but those Es just seem more prone to it. If I may suggest, consider switching to Aerotech composite motors for anything bigger than a D motor. Their E15-7W is fantastic for any rocket meant to take Estes D and E motors, but add that throaty roar and thicker smoke of the bigger motors.
Now I'm skittish of the E12s...

I filed MESS reports and posted in the Cato thread.
The other flier’s were the same, though another member at the launch had E12s that started with a B, and had flawless performance.
Bought before then. Pics are from last summer. Snow on the ground now...
