Default Any history on these?
Has anyone got any information on either Atlantic Rockets or S/FX Rocketry? I am babysitting a Bell X-1 (Atlantic) and Spirit (S/FX) and haven't seen either before.

I built an Atlantic Rockets sport scale V2. The kit's not bad. I liked the plywood centering rings and premium nylon parachute.

Hence:

Atlantic Rockets has been defunct for years. It was essentially a guy who ripped off Mountainside Hobbies' designs.

Is Mountainside still in business? I bought their V-2 and 4" Sandhawk years back ... they reminded me of NCR kits.
