Ace Rocket Manufacturing
Ace Rocket Manufacturing of San Fernando, CA was run by Korey Kline and was instrumental in the formation of what we now call HPR.
Here are some random artifacts of that company. PNC-39 and modified for the Sonic Shark kit. Ace logo: Ace Cantata rocket. Ace Cantata rocket. Ace Monocopter "rocket" motor pod. An Ace Rocket Manufacturing ad from about 1983. Jerry |

Down in the lower left hand corner of the ad it says "AeroTech/ACE Division." Is this the same Aerotech that we know today?

Yes, definitely begs for more! Such as: what did that Monocopter look like? I'd love to see the whole thing!

I found a relic from the past at the HobbyTown USA store in North Dallas this afternoon. They had an Ace PNC-39 hanging from a peg. Since these are probably not currently being made, this one may be a consignment from someone's collection. It is significantly lighter than the smaller 3" LOC cone. Bill

Yes, and that's why I prefer them. The LOC cones are 'armor piercing' (or at least roof piercing) while the Ace cones will accordion-fold themselves, taking some of the energy out of a prang. I've got three Ace cones remaining in my inventory. Jerry-- Any idea who has the mold (Korey?) and could make more if there were demand?

Ace Rocket Manufacturing
Jerry,
Nice photos of the ACE Cantata. I still have one of the first ACE Cantata kits with Korey's 4" Balsa Nose Cones before he went to the ACE PNC-39 Plastic Cones. This is unbuilt. I still have unbuilt early ACE Rockets, Fugue 18, Fugue 23, Minuete, Vance, (2) Allegro 2420's. I do have fin patterns for the Mongrel, that I got from you in the early 80's and from Chris Pearson. I have fin patterns for all for the above around here. I've got the plans somewhere here, for the ACE Allegro Largo. As well as the fin pattern. I've got an open ACE Squid, but missing the wood dowels. I've got a early LOC Precision Graduator 4" kit that came with a ACE PNC-39 Plastic Nose Cone. I'll try to scan some of the photos of the Allegro Largo, I took at the early LDRS events in Ohio, and post them here, on the forum. Larry Broadbent SAM # 0234 |

Another super old thread .
revisiting as I dig out old stuff and get back at it - have rebuild of my Cantata coming up soon. Larry, you still around ? would love to see soem Stargate scans and info as well, I had an Aero-Ram, now lost Would especially like to see plans for the early 2 x 24mm Stargate had . And, Allegro Largo is on my wish list, so if that info exists.. one of the first ' huge' kit offerings. ~ HPR historian AL |
