LDRS 2007 News: 54mm "Soda Can" 'I' Motors To Be Available at LDRS-26
The Tripoli Motor Testing Committee (TMT) has certified a series of new AeroTech 54mm single-grain reload kits that are planned for sale at the LDRS-26 Tripoli Rocketry Association annual meet in Jean NV on July 12-17.
AeroTech has designed a new 54/426 single-grain casing for the 54mm RMS Reloadable Motor System series. Dubbed the "Soda Can" 'I' by those who have held it, this motor will also be available through AeroTech's hardware partner Rouse-Tech Monster Motors. The initial reload kit introduction for the 54/426 case includes a White Lightning I115W, a Blue Thunder I229T, a Redline I215R and a Warp-9 I599N. The total impulses of all these reloads are in the low 400 N-sec. range. RMS-54/426 motors are perfect when flying under limited altitude waiver conditions and on relatively small launch sites.
The four reloads will be shown at LDRS-26 in Jean, NV and will be sold through an exclusive arrangement with Just Rockets of Las Vegas. After LDRS, the motors will be available through any authorized AeroTech dealer. They may be sold to any NAR or Tripoli Level 1 certified purchaser in possession of an ATFE Low Explosive User Permit (LEUP).
Applicable TRA certification documents, instructions and assembly drawings will soon be available for download in PDF format from the AeroTech Resource Library.
