I do not understand why more of these fantastic designs are not bought/adopted by more of the rocket companies out there. I started going thru the list for my favorites...and had to quit at fifty! There are just too many that are great. I'd like to clone 'em all, but add to those the 300 + bagged/boxed kits I already have, and I think I might need another lifetime to get them all built (not to mention FLOWN)! Also, I'd need a warehouse to display them all!
I guess I need to be more discriminating! :rolleyes:

Great work! MANY thanks!

Thanks, Allen!

One answer is, writing the instructions takes more time than designing the model. Model design is much more fun... :D

Another reason might be related to what we see happening with Estes and Wal Mart right now. Choosing a model to kit can be hit or miss, in terms of kit numbers bought. What I might like to design doesn't always translate into what the buying public is willing to spend money on. :(

I sympathize with the number of unopened kits waiting their turn. I've got quite a few in my own queue, not to mention a couple hundred that are built and flyable, but still just in their undies (primer only). :eek:
