Model Rockets: Two E12 Catos on New Years Eve in the Waipahu park with our #1 fan and many guests

Happy New Year! Glad you are able to share and pass some rockets on, that’s what they are for.

She had a difficult decision to make. I told her come back next year and she can have the other.

I didn’t know we were having a contest! 😂. But with 2 CATOs, you win! 😢. What is up with Estes motors????? And Quest ain’t doing much better! Spectacular videography though!!!!!!!

Hope you had a happy new year.

[@Nlangkirby135]

Kind of a shame you had two catos.

@@Nlangkirby135 When you launch enough, it happens.

Well, in my opinion, it's the way the motors are shipped. No padding in the box. I just got some motors and there is no packing material. They get beat around and the fuel cell can crack. And then, Boom. I took video in case i have the same problem.

I have the same experience with D12-3 and C11-3. 70% CATOs.

Happy explosive sparkly New Year!! What "vintage" were those E12s? Didn't Estes just replace a whole set of date codes?

[@RonzRocketz]

2022. Weren't included in the recall. I wouldn't be surprised if they should be.
