Who is morerockets?

It's the guy that was selling the Colonial Viper clone kits on eBay.

They would on ocassion order parts for their kits from us. Other than that dont know much about the company.

They recently put some of their stuff on Ebay:

And these are active.

The Ebay auction is what caused me to go to morerockets.com in the first place and that is when I learned their site was down.

I bought two Vipers last month and like their overall quality. The nose cone was shaped by them in house. So it’s not a custom piece like the viper nose cone over at Sirius Rocketry.

I just went to their web site and found the following:

MoreRockets is Moving
It won't be long so please bear with us. While your waiting our rockets can be found on Ebay. The address is http://shop.ebay.com/morerockets/m....=1&_from=&_ipg=

So please bare with us until then.

Looks like they are back

Hey, just bringing this back to shine a light on something I find... questionable:

Now, anyone who has seen me around knows I created the Black Vulcan design shown here back in 2007:

Note particularly the "alien font" on the side of the rocket... I acquired it from uazu.net (the full link is on my build page). The font is licensed under Creative Commons; I probably should have pointed that out on my page, but at least I gave credit where credit is due.

I would never try to sell this rocket, as I just recolored and reannotated the original Centuri wraps (the copyrights to which are owned by Hobbico now). But this fellow is selling it. I note two interesting bits:


Is he including the big chunk o' nose weight this rocket requires? 'Cause, it's NOT stable without it.


Now, if that is the original Centuri story-sheet, that would also be copyright Hobbico now.

When Carl clones a rocket, he redesigns it from scratch, includes his own instructions and credits the original company. Not so MoreRockets. I'm more than a bit incredulous at this. No credit for Centuri, no credit for Jim Peters or Tyler Montbriand's font design, and no credit for me (least important of all).

Thanks to hcmbanjo @ TRF for bringing this to my attention.

Hmm... Whois shows (emphasis mine)-
