Has anyone had any failures of CTI Pro54 motors date coded around March 27th, 2018? Earlier this year I tried for L2 and I had a J760 (Mar 27 2018) CATO with a rupture near the aft end of the casing. A few weeks later I tried with a replacement of the same date code... same thing, CATO with the motor melting through the casing just above the nozzle assembly. I did end up getting my L2, on a little AT SU none-the-less
Frustrations aside, now I've got a K1440 I ordered at the same time with date code March 26th, 2018 (ish, the code is hard to read the "6" position on) and I'm honestly afraid to use it for then having to spend more money to rebuild the rear end of the rocket again (and honestly, I'm not sure how many more meltdowns it can take!)
I really want to love CTI, their motors are so easy to use, but with no response from their email contact system I just don't know what to do. Should I invest more into CTI motors or should I jump-ship and go with AT SU or reloads? Advice on the CTI dates and future purchases appreciated!
