I LIKED the "Model Aircraft Parts" shipment method that was previously used.
Motors should have ZERO shipment regulations.

CMR tubes were made by Stone Industries and were "wet" wrapped not "dry" wrapped like Euclid tubes. |

The MPC Taurus-1 kit's http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/nostalgia/74avi07.html 5 mm diameter booster nose cones and exhaust nozzles (as well as the other plastic parts in the plastic "Customizing Parts Sets" that came in MPC and AVI kits, and in early Quest catalogs (see: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca.../93quest22.html ), are easy to duplicate as solid-cast resin parts in one-piece RTV--Room Temperature-Vulcanizing--rubber molds (see my primer, "Resin Casting for Rocketeers" http://www.ninfinger.org/models/rms...resin_cast.html , on the Ninfinger Productions http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/rockets.html website). They can also be 3D printed; the late Bruce Levison ("teflonrocketry1") 3D printed some Taurus-1 booster nose cones & nozzles, and T15 (15 mm diameter, for the MPC Miniroc kits) 5:1 tangent ogive and elliptical (for the MPC Miniroc Pipsqueak kit) nose cones for me.

Does anyone offer 3D printed MPC Lunar-Lectric launch pads and launch controllers? They had useful little convenience features (the pad's microclip lead supports for front-motor boost-gliders and its wind direction vane, and the launch controller's vehicle cigarette lighter/spotlight plug).

At one point I believe MPC was owned by either Post or Kellogg's cereal company.
Cereal-Box toys....

The launch pad design was used by a later manufacturer. MRC? Custom? It didn't use the little flag and I'm not sure if it used the clip support mast. If you're ever in Oregon, go to the Sun River Science Center. One of my MPC pads, and an original Moon-Go, is on display.
