LAS VEGAS, Nevada USA — Time is running out on AeroTech's Easy Access™ RMS™ 38/480 Forward Seal Disc update special. Effective last August 1, 1997, AeroTech announced that the I154J, I211W and I300T reload kits were being changed to require the use of a 38mm forward seal disc. (These three reload kits saw the removal of one fiber insulator washer and the addition of a 1-5/16 O.D. x 1/16 inch thick forward seal disc o-ring that would be used in conjunction with the existing 38mm seal disc.)

Jim Amos' Missile Works Corporation, (http://www.missileworks.com), is the latest manufacturer to toss their hat into the ring of hobby rocketry. Missile Works is a brand new manufacturer of high quality rocket kits, electronics, and components. When it comes to kits, they only produce scale and semi-scale models of military missiles and research rockets. They've started off their product line with four 29mm semi-scale kits which include the AGM-12B Bullpup, the MIM-23A HAWK, the ASP, and the VIKING 7. Look for them to soon be offering 38mm kits as well, with four initial designs ready for prototyping.

In the long awaited arrival of 3" (75mm) motors from AeroTech, it appears these are just days away, possibly awaiting only certification before delivery to the certified general public. As typical in the high power industry, most motor manufacturers use the national Tripoli Rocketry Association launch, LDRS, to preview and release new motor products. It is expected this year's LDRS will be no different.

All *active* Tripoli members who subscribe to HPR Magazine will get both the May and June magazine plus the Tripoli Report in the same envelope via 1st-class or priority mail any day now. The combined postage of the magazines and the Tripoli Report made such a mailing possible.

In a recent communication from Tripoli Motor Testing, TMT Chairperson Sue McMurray welcomed Robert Ellis of Ellis Mountain Rocket Works as the first officially recognized new legal high power rocket motor manufacturer in years. Ellis Mountain's ATF, DOT and other pertinent documents have all been reviewed by TMT and found to be in perfect order.
