KEYSER, West Virginia USA -- Blackhawk R&D is excited to announce the release of its newest high-power rocket kit, the SA-5 Gammon, a penta-motored 1/8 sport scale model of the Russian mainline surface-to-air missile.

Comprised of a 4-inch sustainer airframe, four outboard 1.5-inch booster airframes, and twelve fins, the SA-5 promises to be a pleasure to build, fly, and show off to fellow model rocket and missile enthusiasts!

The SA-5 will ship stock with a centerline 38mm sustainer motor mount and four 29mm booster motor mounts, providing the high-power modeler a plethora of options for clustering and/or staging with easy-access 29mm and 38mm motors. As with all of their kits, however, Blackhawk R&D welcomes the opportunity to provide custom motor configurations for its customers.

Addition information and specifications for the SA-5 Gammon can be found on the Blackhawk R&D web site, http://www.blackhawkrd.com. The kit may be purchased from either the Blackhawk R&D web site or from one its fine distributors. The SA-5 Gammon will begin shipping April 16, 2002.
