I'm designing a new high tech launch controller.  I have one question
concerning continuity checking.

This may be a silly question, but does Estes stamp/print production
dates on their BP motors? I'm looking at several "numbers" on various
motors that I thought were dates, but they do not match what is printed
on the bar code tag that describes the contents of the package. Just

Thanks

Well more of the brainwashing that the left has done upon the youth of
our country ... started with the communists of the 30s, then the beat
nicks of the 50s ... then the hippies of the 60s, and now the college
kids of the 100s ... nice, that a man like Pappy,  isn't alive to see
