Cesaroni Technology’s Pro-X motors are in some opinion, the best general
purpose AP motors available. Simple to use and extremely reliable, we have
never seen one fail to light. From “G” to “O” impulse. New sizes and
propellant formulations are available every year.
www.hypertekhybrids.com
Cesaroni Technology’s HyperTEK hybrid motors are the best hybrid motor
system available. The motors are simple to use and extremely reliable – just
like the Pro-X AP motors. Everyone who has flown a HyperTEK hybrid motor
agrees that it is more fun to fly hybrids than it is to fly AP motors.
