ImageCEDAR CITY, Utah USA — The Tripoli Motor Testing (TMT) Committee of the Tripoli Rocketry Association has certified five new AeroTech 54mm Black Max™ RMS™ reload kits.

The new reload kits include the 54/426 I117FJ-M, the 54/852 J250FJ-L, the 54/1280 J401FJ-L, the 54/1706 K513FJ-L and the 54/2560 K828FJ-P.

ImageAll five reload kits utilize AeroTech's Black Max propellant formulation. Black Max propellant, like the slower-burning Black Jack, has a distinctive exhaust note and produces a dense, rich black smoke that is easy to track. RMS motors using Black Max propellant ignite quickly and generate high average thrust levels very similar to those produced by the equivalent White Lightning™ reloads in the same motor hardware.

Technical and other details on these motors are as follows:

ReloadPart No.HardwareTotal Imp.Burn TimeProp. Wt.Motor Wt.Price
I117FJ-M09117M54/4263613.1243566$60.00
J250FJ-L10250L54/8527312.9487907$70.00
J401FJ-L10401L54/128010942.87301267$80.00
K513FJ-L11513L54/170614672.89741647$100.00
K828FJ-P11828P54/256021202.513732223$140.00

A Tripoli or NAR Level 1 user certification is necessary to purchase the I117FJ, and a Level 2 certification is required for purchase of the remaining four reloads. In addition, customers must possess a valid ATFE Low Explosives User Permit (LEUP). AeroTech is now accepting orders for the new reloads, and shipments to dealers are expected to commence in late August.

Applicable TRA certification documents, instructions and assembly drawings will soon be available for download in PDF format from the AeroTech Resource Library on the AeroTech website at http://www.aerotech-rocketry.com/.

I wonder if they were any closer than 20%.......I guess we'd need to see hoped for and tested numbers.
