Motor burned for about 1 second or slightly less before CATO. Not 100% certain the date code is correct, as it's a little faded. Motor had been labeled as an Estes Pro Series II motor before, as you could see the edge of the white Estes label underneath the black Aerotech label. The yellow part at the top of the motor seemed to have a little piece of plastic missing, but everything was still sealed with epoxy (or whatever glue is used). The vendor I bought the motor from told me it was fine to use (after he first contacted Aerotech). You can contact me by email if you would like to see before and after photos of the motor.
