Aerotech:
--------
The previous NAR S&T notice announced certification of the Aerotech E15-PW
(24mm x 70mm, 40 N-sec).  Two notes are appropriate:

1. This motor was actually certified back on August 2, 1994.
2. The announcement that it was a "single-use disposable motor"
   meant that you throw it away after use.  Though it is appropriate
   for use in Radio Control (R/C) rocket gliders when an ejection
   charge is not appropriate, it is *not* a reload for the
   AeroTech RMS-R/C 24-20/40 hardware.

MRC:
---
Several people on computer networks have questioned the continued
participation of MRC in the model rocketry market.  Based on this,  NAR
S&T has investigated, contacting the manufacturer directly.  We can report
the folllowing:

MRC intends to stay in the model rocket business.  Even if they ceased
production today, they have enough motors in stock to supply  rocketeers
at current usage rates through the end of the calendar year, which is
halfway into the next contest year.  Therefore, MRC motors remain
certified for contest and general use.

Those individuals having difficulty obtaining MRC products from their
usual sources may contact MRC's subsidiary, Alltech Marketing in Edison,
NJ at:
(908) 248-8738 (Consumers)
(800) 333-3692 (Dealers, only)
