Fantastic story....love the pics. With all the multitude of mid-power offerings out there these days, the AT kits still have an "excitement" factor about them. With thier simplistic, but sturdy designs, great graphics, and stable characteristics, I for one am glad they've stayed the duration.

It's been in the back of my head for some time, but never asked: is there ever going to be any new kit offering from AT?.

P.s.......I kept a saved page from your response to my thread on the "other" forum about my old(er) AT single use motors.....the "Econo's" and your specific suggestion of not using them should the code read "902417". I've yet to open them and see, but your advice was well recieved. Thanks for being aware.

I think this question was posted on Facebook some months ago, and I think the short answer was "maybe". Layout and publication costs are expensive, and I think that was part of the reason.

Sure would be nice for AT to add some new kits sometime. Geez! The same ones since, what, 1995?
They are great kits, all. But most of us have been through them and would like something more...
How about reintroducing the Phoenix rocket plane? That is a GREAT model!

AFAIK, AeroTech's "bread-n-butter" are motor sales, not rockets. I have no idea what percentage belongs to what, but it may help to think of them as a "rocket motor company" rather than a larger version of Estes. The rockets they sell are the "vehicle" to get users interested in their core product, mid-power single use and reloadable motors.

AeroTech's primary competitor is CTI, and they do not sell any rocket kits.

Maybe if Bob knows otherwise, he will set the record straight.

I already asked about kit sales figures and he didn't want to answer and my posts were moved to a new thread. Unanswered.
