Can anyone tell me about the current status of the Alpha Hybrids ? I
have tried their website a few times but can't seem to open some
sections . I do know that they have a pre-filled tank very much
like the ole AT hybrids and that they will have an I , J , and a K .

I believe you are thinking of Trojan Hybrids, Phil.
Edward from Alpha posted some stuff on TRF recently.

According to that certain motor testing group, he still has yet to
resubmit his motors for certification... The ball is in his court it
sounds?!

TMT is slowly becoming the next "Bruce Kelly" problem for TRA.
The difference is that the membership could see the direct affect of
not
getting a magazine. Bruce could blame lack of submissions, problems
with the printing house, "lost in the mail", and whining ungrateful
members.
TMT can only blame the motor manufacturers, albeit in a selective
manner.
The full story is a disservice to the TRA membership.

You hit the nail on the head. "the sun's in my eyes, my gloves too big,

Simply amazing.
It's time to nip it in the bud.

If this is the case, I'd like to see specific information made public
so that we can attempt to have the problem corrected before it gets to
the Bruce Kelly stage.
I have noticed that there are a few manufacturers that never seem to
have a problem having their motors tested.

According to Edward, he changed the way the tanks were filled and
attached to the forward closure, and requested that TMT return his
hardware, desiring to have the new and current configuration tested. It
took TMT 5-1/2 months to get the hardware back to him. In the interim,
Edward gave up and submitted the hardware to NAR S&T. The initial
testing at NAR S&T was performed on 12/16.
This has been an ongoing complaint for some time.

Tom,
Wow, wanting to slander my motors? Can you back this up, this
'problem'. I'll lay it out. Before the tank was permanently connected
to the motor and only allowed one tank to be prefilled for flight. I
changed the connectors between the tank and forward closure to let
users fill more than one tank at a time at home. This was a design
change that happened after I sent them to TMT after I found a couple of
new parts.
Now, I don't peruse RMR often, mainly because of the lowlife scum like
Tom that likes to cause trouble.
I'd be happy to hear what you think the problem was Tom.

Ed,
How on earth am I slandering your motors?
What I said was "It sounded more like a "problem" with the motors as
reported by Paul Holmes on the TRA Forum. I would not consider
shipping constraints, delays, or issues what so ever to be considered
or called a "problem" when asked why both SRS and Alpha Hybrids had
been delayed... Todd has mentioned in public forums that there was in
fact a "problem" which if I remember correctly some plastic flashing on
the grains which he has since taken care of.
Last time I talked to him he even had some good news on the status of
his motors.
Now you say that your "problem" was the motors not being shipped back
to you, and I simply asked why it was labeled a problem. Couldn't
words such as Delay, Holdup or postponement have been used rather than
problem. I live with a English Major so don't shoot me for asking the
question.
I have no way of backing up any problems and have no way of knowing
what problems your motors have. I have never seen your motors in
person, only the pictures you have posted online.

right Tom???
Also try having some tack as far as keeping your yip shut about anything you
hear about other manufactures test results! Haven't you freakin figured it
out yet! .. If TMT is telling you anything about of manufactures test
results, alleged problems thats very poor taste on there part.
" I don't have time to look it up" more BS on your part, man your a freakin
idiot..
Go away you annoying puke!

Todd won't say in public what the real 'issue' was. Holmes half
admitted it, but then shut his piehole. Todd should examine avenues
regarding loss of revenue due to the bungling.
