Cedar City, UT (ROL Newswire) -- The National Association of
Rocketry's (NAR) Standards and Testing (S&T) Committee has certified two
new AeroTech single-use rocket motors, the 29mm F42T Econojet and the
29mm F26FJ standard line.
The F42T uses AeroTech's fast burning Blue Thunder propellant, and the
F26FJ uses AeroTech's fast Black Jack propellant also known as Black
Max.
The F26-6FJ and F42-4T will work with AeroTech's Initiator, HV Arcas,
Strong Arm and Wart-Hog rocket kits. The F26-9FJ and F42-8T will work
with the Mustang, Arreaux, IQSY Tomahawk, Cheetah and Barracuda
kits.
Detailed product information can be found on the home page of the
AeroTech website at

Instructions for bothmotors may be downloaded in PDF format from the
"Instructions" page of the AeroTech Resource Library.
The F42T and F26FJ are defined as "model rocket motors" and while no
user certification is required, they are recommended for consumers 16
years of age or older.
The F42T can be shipped via U.S. Postal Service Parcel Post with no
hazmat fee, due to the fact that the motors contain less than 30 grams
of propellant each. AeroTech's dealers and distributors have been
notified of the new motors' pending certification and production and
motors should be available for purchase by consumers in mid-May.
