I am definitely interested, and I thank you for posting this brochure! I like the way that MPC got into the "hows" and "whys" of producing the Minijet motors, and the kits that used them (such as the 36% decrease in frontal drag over a equivalent 19 mm minimum-diameter rockets, the greater strength provided by the smaller, more sharply-curving 13 mm Minijet motor casings, which permitted them to be thinner-walled, etc.). Aesthetically, it is also a beautiful example of commercial art, with its combination of colors, its image framing, and its smooth combination with actual photographs of the Miniroc models. It even has a little "inside baseball"-type information, with its kit carton pricing (I imagine the brochure was intended for model rocket vendors).
