R94 New Motor Certifications 16 May 2004

The following motors have been certified by NAR Standards & Testing for general use as high power rocket motors effective April 1, 2004. They will not be certified for NAR contest use as they are not model rocket motors.

The following are reloadable motors, certified only with the indicated size casings and manufacturer supplied nozzles, end closures, delays (or smoke devices), and propellant slugs.
