FORT COLLINS, Colorado USA — Edward Wranosky of Alpha Hybrids recently announced that the company's long-awaited line of 54mm consumer products is nearing the end of its journey, with public availability expected upon completion of motor testing.

The line of 54mm motors include an I class and a J class impulse option, both using the same fuel grain, with each using a different nitrous oxide tank to achieve the desire impulse results. 

Individual motor sets include everything you need to fly except the actual fuel grains.

The Alpha hybrids are lit using 3 pyrodex pellets in the head of the fuel grain, ignited with an e-match. These are the same e-matches used for recovery systems.  This combination gives the motor 'instant-on' characteristics, coupled with the injector design.
