Default TIR-100 Vaporware motors?

I was looking at a copy of Centuri TIR-100 and I noticed they had data in there for some motors that I'm not familar with .

The motor are:

D9
D7
D17
E6
E16
F44
F62

Where any of these very actually produced motors? Were these Mini-Max BP motors?


NEVERMIND I can answer my own questions.

These were the BP Mini-Max motors.

Should've asked a couple of weeks ago. Remember when I bought the original manuscript of Estes TR10 off of eBay? Well, I got with Doug Malewicki at the ORR and showed it to him. We talked about that and the TIR-100 (which, combined with Charles Andres' articles in Model Rocketry magazine, got me pointed to a computer career).

I've got to send him some stuff so I'll make sure to ask him about the vaporware motors. I suspect these were motors that were either just metric conversions of the Mini-Max line, as well as some new motors that may have been shelved when the Enerjets joined Centuri.

Roy, you're correct, they are just the metric versions of the Mini-Max.
