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:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT 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. |

Hey, just bringing this back to shine a light on something I find... questionable:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-VULCAN-Fl...=item2c5904b842 Now, anyone who has seen me around knows I created the Black Vulcan design shown here back in 2007: http://www.oldrocketforum.com/showthread.php?t=1569 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: Quote:
Is he including the big chunk o' nose weight this rocket requires? 'Cause, it's NOT stable without it. Quote:
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)-
