Default Jetex (Jet-X) and/or Rapier motors NAR Certified?

Hello All,

I know that Centuri sold Jetex motors many years ago (see: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...64/64cen40.html ), and they were apparently NAR Certified as "1/2A" and "A" motors.

Were/are the new Jet-X motors (see: http://jetex.org/links.html ) and Rapier motors (see: http://www.shortysbasement.com/inde...viewCat&catId=5 ) NAR Certified? (The Rapier [see: www.rapier.cz ] is a Czech-made single-use, slow-burning rocket motor that is used mostly for F/F [Free Flight] model aircraft. It can be ignited using a supplied wick, DT fuse (De-Thermalizer fuse), or a special hand-held reusable "hot-wire" electrical ignition "stylus" that is made for this purpose. Most of the Rapier web site text is in Czech, but you can translate all of it by typing "www.rapier.cz" in www.google.com and then clicking on the "Translate This Page" option.)

The Jetex (Jet-X) and Rapier motors could provide additional performance and/or scale realism flight options for boost-gliders and rocket gliders, especially R/C (Radio Controlled) ones that could employ inflight Jet-X or Rapier motor ignition on command.
