CAR certifies 17 AMW/Pro-X reloads for AMW 54mm hardware

News Release by AMW/Pro-X
Thursday, May 15, 2008

AMW/Pro-X, the industry's largest manufacturer of high power rocketry motors and reloads, has just received certification on 17 new reloads for original AMW 54mm hardware.

We have been busy in the breeding room to help you bring out the animal in your flight.

We found Black Bear wandering the forests in Canada and harnessed his power into six new Black Bear reloads, and we went the extra mile to certify these with the graphite nozzle and with the disposable nozzle.

The Scalded Tiger is a mean ornery cat. We have initially introduced her in two casing sizes: the 54-1050 is a J1365 and the 54-1400 comes in at K1720. She is fast with a 0.7 second burn time.

Wild Wolf brings the usual large volume of white smoke and plenty of power to your flight. Tamed Tiger on the other hand has lower smoke as most of the cat's do. The familiar Red Rhino led the charge from the cages.

The new nozzle carrier used with some of the AMW/Pro-X reloads allows optimization of design, far better than any other snap ring style case.

These will expand the reloads available for AMW hardware, adding to the already certified classic reloads that will continue to be produced.

This makes AMW hardware the most sought after on the market in both the commercial and research community.

The flier now has 12 different propellants in 41 reloads to choose and more are in process. And that's just in 54mm!

AMW/Pro-X will bring reloads for AMW hardware into California as well as overseas markets soon. These and the many new certifications that will come in the following months demonstrate our continued support of the high power rocket flier.

Wow!
That's quite an array!
Many animals uncaged.
Cool!

Thanks!

WOW. Scalded Tiger looks awesome. Do they plan on making that load for the 54/2550 case. 0.7 second burn time it should come in around K-3000

Photos of one of the reloads and the new "Nozzle Adapter" (which I still need to return to AMW [oops]) are in the message at:

BTW ... I like the idea of including the total impulse in the designation. The total impulse range within one letter designation is pretty large with the bigger motors. So, it gives a better idea of the power of the motor. And, you can divide it by the average thrust to determine the burn time.

Someone flew the 1750 version at Winter Nats this year as a demo (~K2000). What a shred! It barely cleared the rail before utter disintegration occurred.

But the motor survived, correct?

As far as I know, it did. It certainly was a beast .

Hopefully these animals will find their way to the 75mm casings as well. I can only imagine what they would look like in the 75-7600 motor. irate:

M-6000 I'll buy one right now.
