LAS VEGAS, Nevada USA -- AeroTech, the industry leader in reloadable motor technology, is pleased to announce the availability of four new Restricted Access™ 98mm RMS Blue Thunder reload kits!
Since the first demonstration flight some five years ago at an Argonia LDRS, the (single grain) K650T, (two grain) L1500T, (three grain) M2400T, and (four grain) M2500T have been highly anticipated. Well, wait no longer! With a final pre-release demonstration flight by Ken Finwall at last fall's Turkey Shoot '98 of an M2400T, AeroTech successfully completed TMT testing of these rockin' reloads and is now poised to let all of high power enjoy an all out GRUNT-o-thon!
