roy:

I don't know if Larry Renger was ever an actual employee at Estes or not. I think he may have been in the early 70's. I'll email him and ask him. As for later dates he probably worked as a designer/consultant. Larry worked his entire life as a model/toy designer. The last company he worked for before reatiring a year or two ago was with some Chinese toy company.

It my understanding that the Statoblaster appeared as a plan in one of the model airplane mags before Estes decided to kit it.

Larry also worked at COX for a time or two or three.

Hes a graduate of MIT class of 1963.
