Yes, this model is designed for 1/4A engines. My old fleet Mini-Maggot was originally built for a 'Gnat' B/G contest back in '75. Back then, that was the NAR's name for 1/4A B/G.
If I remember from reading in the old Model Rocketry magazine, 1/4A B/G was introduced to the NAR Pink Book around 1970 or 1971, with the advent of the first 13mm engines.
MPC came out with the 13mm first, and was soon followed by Estes. (Actually, the first Rock-A-Chute engines that Carlisle made were 13mm, as well, but were soon replaced by the 18mm standard.)
During those years in the early 70s, the model rocket record books were virtually re-written because of these smaller diameter engines, especially in altitude competition.
