I don't recall that the NAR had a problem with this.

I flew a few of the big E and F motors. They were pretty awesome at the time. Longer duration thrust than the FSI F100. I flew them in a custom-made model with a Nike Smoke cone. It may have been minimum diameter!
That's why I included that proviso, as it's been some time since I read that thread. That sounds like an efficient production method, as it enabled AVI to use fewer "base" motor types (and less equipment to make them), with the various delay & ejection charge modules being installed into them at the factory.
