 CEDAR CITY, Utah USA — The Tripoli Motor Testing Committee (TMT) is in the process of certifying a series of new AeroTech 54mm single-grain reload kits that are planned for sale at the LDRS-26 Tripoli Rocketry Association annual meet in Jean NV on July 12-17.
AeroTech has designed a new 54/426 single-grain casing for the 54mm RMS™ Reloadable Motor System™ series. Dubbed the "Soda Can" 'I' by those who have held it, this motor will also be available through AeroTech's hardware partner Rouse-Tech™ Monster Motors™. The initial reload kit introduction for the 54/426 case includes a White Lightning™ I115W, a Blue Thunder™ I229T, a Redline™ I215R and a Warp-9™ I599N. The total impulses of all these reloads are in the low 400 N-sec. range. RMS-54/426 motors are perfect when flying under limited altitude waiver conditions and on relatively small launch sites. The four reloads will be shown at LDRS-26 in Jean, NV and will be sold through an exclusive arrangement with Just Rockets of Las Vegas. After LDRS, the motors will be available through any authorized AeroTech dealer. They may be sold to any NAR or Tripoli Level 1 certified purchaser in possession of an ATFE Low Explosive User Permit (LEUP). Performance data, specifications and prices for the new reloads are as follows: | Hardware | Reload | Total Impulse | Prop. Wt. | Loaded Wt. | Delay Times | Retail Price | | RMS-54/426 | I115W | 412 N-sec | 219 g | 545 g | Medium | $59.99 ea. | | RMS-54/426 | I229T | 407 N-sec | 196 g | 514 g | Medium | $59.99 ea. | | RMS-54/426 | I215R | 399 N-sec | 208 g | 527 g | Medium | $59.99 ea. | | RMS-54/426 | I599N | 410 N-sec | 186 g | 505 g | Plugged | $69.99 ea. |
Applicable TRA certification documents, instructions and assembly drawings will soon be available for download in PDF format from the AeroTech Resource Library at http://www.aerotech-rocketry.com/. AeroTech Consumer Aerospace is a division of RCS Rocket Motor Components, Inc., Cedar City, UT.

As any fan of any hobby, I love more. But not certain why we need this - I mean just get a 54 - 38 for 10 bucks and use your 38mm I's in it. You can always fit a smaller motor in a bigger rocket, but good luck getting this in your 38mm kits. Granted if you always do 54mm, you might want to just use this. But we level 1 guys I guess have little use for it at all.
