CEDAR CITY, Utah USA — AeroTech is introducing a number of new products at the 2007 National Retail Hobby Stores Association, Inc. (NRHSA) Convention and Tabletop Expo at the Las Vegas Hilton in Las Vegas, NV, presented on May 31 through June 1.

The F27R is AeroTech's first Econojet™ single-use rocket motor using its well-known Redline™ propellant. The F27R motors (part nos. 62704 and 62708) produce an outstanding exhaust plume while exhibiting the Redline signature laser-beam red color.

The F27R delivers a total impulse of 50 N-sec with a burn time of 2.0 seconds and a peak thrust of 38 newtons. The F27R will be sold in a 2-pack at a retail price of $37.95, in time delays of 4 and 8 seconds. The F27R has been certified for use by consumers nationwide by the National Association of Rocketry (NAR).

The NAR also extended certification to a Loadable Motor System™ (LMS™) kit version of the F27R.

The F27-4R/L and F27-8R/L (part nos. 62804 and 62808) join the current F20W/L, F42T/L, G77R/L and G79W/L LMS motor kit lineup and will be sold as a 2-pack. They are quickly and easily assembled with 5-minute epoxy. The F27R/L LMS motor kits are priced at $33.99 per pack, a savings of nearly $4 over the equivalent pre-assembled Econojets. A key advantage of the LMS is the ability to change or modify delays, and the appropriate AeroTech reload delay kits (RDKs) are specified on the LMS motor kit instructions.

Both the Econojet and LMS versions of the F27R have already been classified by the California Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) and may be sold to and used by California consumers. They may also be shipped via USPS Parcel Post® without a hazmat fee. Like all other AeroTech single-use motors, the F27R is shipped with a color-coded bondable aft thrust ring.

In response to dealer and consumer requests, AeroTech has redesigned the F23FJ Black Max™ Econojet (part nos. 62304 and 62307) and the RMS™-29/40-120 G33J Black Jack™ reload kit (part nos. 73305 and 73307) to use 30 gram propellant grains. The redesign resulted in a loss of about 10% of each motor's total impulse, but now allows these motors and reload kits to be shipped by USPS Parcel Post® without incurring a hazmat fee. The redesigned F23FJ and G33J motors are currently undergoing certification by the NAR, and will include a new 10-second delay for the new G33J. Prices of the F23FJ Econojet motors and G33J RMS reload kits will remain at $36.95 per 2-pack and $12.95 each respectively.

The NAR is also in the process of certifying an LMS kit version of the redesigned F23FJ. The F23FJ/L LMS motor kits (part nos. 62904 and 62907) are priced at $32.99 per 2-pack, a savings of nearly $4 over the equivalent pre-assembled Econojets. They may be shipped via USPS Parcel Post like the Econojet versions. All LMS motor kits including the F27R/L and F23FJ/L will be available dealer direct only for the near future.

AeroTech is now accepting orders for the new and redesigned products and anticipates shipments to dealers and distributors to begin by early July. Applicable NAR certification documents, instructions, assembly drawings and OSFM approvals will soon be available for download in PDF format from the AeroTech Resource Library at http://www.aerotech-rocketry.com.
