For level 3 fliers, there are two new tank sizes available for the Armageddon M – 3500cc and 5478cc. The 5478cc tank will be offered as an accessory item for those who already own an M motor system. It was designed to get the most “oomph” possible out of the M grain, delivering over 10,000 Ns during certification testing with the HyEFX™ grain. The 3500cc tank will be offered both as a complete motor system with fuel grains included, and as an accessory item. It is designed to provide total impulse in the mid-M range at 6400 – 6500Ns.

A new “a la carte” combination of tank and bell was tested – the 2800cc Earthquake L tank, with the M bell and grain. This interesting 75mm combination delivers a total impulse in the 97%L to 1% M range depending on the orifice and grain. Yes we said orifice! Another new product is the 0.200” orifice option for the Armageddon M bell, which reduces thrust by about 25% and stretches out the burn for those long cruising flights everyone enjoys. Initial thrust is still a hefty 270 pounds, and it will retrofit into your existing M bell. Currently it is certified only on the 2800cc tank, but CTI will be testing this orifice on other tank sizes as well. The M-class 75mm motor configurations are great for L3 certification when you want to keep altitude and flight stresses in check, or for high altitude shots with smaller rockets.

The K240 has always been a favorite of HyperTEK fliers. This 835-125-J combo is great for high altitude shots, delivering 1285Ns over 5.5 seconds for only 30 bucks retail.

We have something new for level 1 fliers – the 300cc I system. Using the standard J bell and grain plus a shorter version of the familiar 440cc tank, we have certified a bunch of I class configurations perfect for smaller fields or new HyperTEK fliers. Best of all are the two-shot combos - the 300-098-J and 300-125-J combos can be flown twice with the same standard J grain, cutting your fuel grain cost in half! Note that FX grains cannot be flown twice.

CTI is continuing its commitment to develop and improve HyperTEK® products. Several fliers achieved their level 3 certification in 2001 with the Armageddon M system. More and more fliers are discovering the benefits of flying HyperTEK, and dealer and manufacturer support has never been better. Many clubs now offer HyperTEK ground support as part of their launch equipment. Plan ahead, as we’ll be running another certification promo at LDRS XXI!

All these products will begin shipping in January. Contact your local HyperTEK dealer for details.
