LAS VEGAS, Nevada USA — AeroTech, the industry leader in reloadable motor technology, is pleased to announce the availability of the first three (of four) of its highly anticipated Restricted Access™ 75mm RMS™ propulsion systems.

Utilizing the fewest internal parts of any previous RMS motor design, the already Tripoli-certified 3" diameter K560W, L850W, and L1120W, represent a new level of assembly speed and simplicity. And in conjunction with LDRS-17, all three motors made thunderously successful public debuts thanks to high power rocketeers Wayne Anthony, Mark Ketchum, Kurt Gugisberg, and Wayne Cummings.

Both AeroTech and RMS manufacturing licensee Dr. Rocket will have stock of the 75/2560 (full 'K'), 75/3840 (baby 'L') and 75/5120 (full 'L') RMS hardware by October 1, 1998. Current and future owners of AeroTech RMS high power products can look forward to our nationwide network of high power dealers providing 75mm hardware and reloading kits when and where they need it! Check out the 75mm RMS specifications below!
