| Set up a new page for West Coast Hybrids. Their I motor is now certified by CAR and legal for Tripoli ranges. Very interesting approach to a floating-injector motor! |
Sunday, July 14
| Linked to the Tri City Skybusters web site. This club is VERY into hybrids, and the web site is outstanding. |
| Video and stills from NYPOWER in Geneseo, NY added to the Gallery pages. What a meet; there were at least 20 hybrid flights, including a RATT Works K240, a HyperTEK M1000, and a TWO STAGE AeroTech hybrid! |

| Instead of struggling with the message board software, I'm linking into the CompuServe Sport Rocketry Forum, which has a Hybrid message area as well as a lot of other stuff. There is no charge for Forum access; all you have to do is pick a name and password. |

| Put up a nice MPG video file of Ivan Galysh flying one of the new HyperTEK I225 motors in a 5 pound PML Endeavour. Nice flight! |
| There have been some quirks with the message board, pasting parts of other messages into replies. I think I have it fixed now. Let me know if you see anything weird. |
Friday, February 1
| Added the MSDS for nitrous oxide to the Download page. |
| Started to build pages for each motor brand. I'd like to have PDF copies of the motor instructions available, at least. |

| Boy, has this project been dormant for a while! I'm sorry it's taken so long to get going. Lots of interesting stuff has happened since last March. |
| HyperTEK now has 39 different motors Tripoli certified, from I through M. Here's a matrix of the HyperTEK motor line. |
| Since the tragic fire at the AeroTech factory, the future availability of AeroTech hybrids is in doubt. There are some reloads and supplies still in the distribution chain. Hit our message board to get help locating the stuff you need. |
| Speaking of which...we now have a message board on the site! Feel free to participate. It's free, and there's no need to register or use a password. |
