The CAR Motor Certification Committee has tested and certified a new Pro98® reload kit using our popular Red Lightning™ propellant. The new N3180 motor is certified for use in both Pro98-6G and AT-RMS98/15360 hardware. This reload kit uses the 98XL nozzle for maximum performance and has more total impulse than the N2500 Classic™ reload kit! Note that because of this larger nozzle, a custom aft closure is required for use in AT-RMS98 hardware. This closure ring will be available from CTI. Pro98 hardware users can simply leave out the nozzle retainer during the assembly process. Pro98® Motor Specification Page

The CAR Motor Certification Committee has tested and certified a new Pro54® reload kit using our popular Classic™ propellant. The new K590 motor is a Dual Thrust™ motor providing a military style "boost-sustain" thrust profile with a thrust-ratio of about 3:1. This means very high "boost" acceleration for safe and perfect straight flights of the pad, followed by a long "sustain" phase for maximum altitude and minimum airframe loads. The Dual Thrust™ motors simulate the concept of a two-stage rocket, but without the complexity of separate stages, multiple airframe components and staging electronics. These new Dual Thrust™ motors are great for altitude attempts! More types of motors are in the works. Pro54® Motor Specification Page

The CAR Motor Certification Committee has tested and certified four new Pro98® reloads using our popular Vmax™ and new Red Lightning™ propellant. With these new reloads we now have four different propellants available in our Pro98® line. The Vmax™ Pro98®’s are characterized by very high average thrust levels; perfect for a project that turned out a little too heavy or test-flights on smaller fields. The K1620 reload uses CTI’s new 1-Grain Pro98® casing. The M4770 reload makes use of CTI’s new larger Pro98-XL nozzle that allows a higher expansion ratio. Currently only the 2-Grain L3150 is certified for use in AT-RMS hardware, but the 1-G and 3-G motor types will be certified in AT-RMS hardware shortly. The new M1890-P Red Lightning™ reload creates a stunning red flame for more than 5 seconds and is certified for use in both Pro98® and AT-RMS hardware.

The CAR Motor Certification Committee has tested and certified two new exciting Pro150® reloads using our popular White Thunder™ propellant. The O5800 and O8000 motors are based on hardware developed for a commercial customer to boost small cruise missiles. For HPR usage we added 45 seconds of tracking smoke. The O8000 is a full (100%) O design, the maximum allowed for HPR use. This is the largest motor ever certified for hobby use. Both motors are very high performance with a delivered Isp of around 224 seconds! These new motors use a single grain design. Because the motors are no longer segmented, the hardware nomenclature has been updated to reflect the new design. The previous 3G casing is now a 30k (30,000 Ns) casing. The 4G hardware is now a 40k (40,000 Ns) casing. The 40k casing is actually a 30k casing with a 10k extension. With the recently introduced Pro38® White Thunder™ motors, we now have a complete lineup of White Thunder™ propellant for each hardware diameter (Pro38®, Pro54®, Pro75®, Pro98® and Pro150®).

The CAR Motor Certification Committee has tested and certified three new Pro54® reloads using our popular Vmax™ propellant. This is the fourth propellant available for Pro54®: Classic™, Smoky Sam™ and White Thunder™ reloads were already available for our Pro54® line of motors. A fifth propellant will be introduced soon; for all Pro54® casing sizes. The Vmax™ Pro54®’s are characterized by very high average thrust levels; perfect for a project that turned out a little too heavy or test-flights on smaller fields. A few demos were already flown at the Florida Winternationals, held February 16-18, 2008. These motors turned out to be real crowd pleasers.

This is the first of several new product releases planned for the next few weeks. The CAR Motor Certification Committee has tested and certified four new Pro38® reloads using our White Thunder™ propellant. This completes the Pro38® White Thunder™ line. Pro38® White Thunder™ is now available in 1G through 5G (the 5G I540 was already available). The White Thunder™ Pro38®’s have the highest total impulse of all of our Pro38® motors. The burn time is between the Vmax™ and the Smoky Sam™ motors. The flame of our White Thunder™ propellant looks like ‘the real thing’ and it most closely resembles our military and aerospace propellant.

After several months of planning and discussion, Cesaroni Technology Incorporated and Animal Motor Works will begin cooperative production of their respective product lines and new product development. The product production and marketing merger will make AMW/Pro-X® the industry’s largest manufacturer of HPR motors and reloads. The product merger will also accelerate AMW’s production transition from its previous New Hampshire location. Some of the new products will include a new line of propellants that will be marketed under the Kryptonite™ brand name.

These new propellants will be manufactured on CTI’s state of the art manufacturing equipment. The product line will include high performance colors and effects formulations in addition to classic favorites that will be certified for use in AMW, Pro-X® as well as Brand A hardware systems. In April of this year, CTI received DOT and ERD 1.4C shipping classifications for its 75mm and 98mm moon burner line as well as a new series of 54mm, long burn reload systems. Smoky Sam propellant is also included in this approval. Initial production and pre-certification testing of color and effects propellants is currently underway.

All propellants produced by CTI are ferrocene and catocene free, ensuring long life, stability and safety while maintaining predictable ballistics due to associated migration and sublimation issues.

In addition to the traditional reload configurations that have been previously available, the AMW line plans to offer Pro-X® style, drop-in, modular reloads for some of its existing hardware cases. Both companies are also planning 24mm and 29mm systems that will include Brand A compatibility as the product line expands. Production of single use model rocket motors is also being considered for 2008 once the new line has been established. Previously, CTI limited production of small single use rocket motors to commercial and defense R&D applications.

Certification of new products will also include California State Fire Marshall approval so California flyers will have access to the entire AMW/Pro-X® line. Manufacturing and distribution is planned from both Canadian and U.S. locations with certifications and the first new product releases scheduled for this fall.
