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.

Hes not the only person who has "borrowed" . Someone even tried cloning Fliskits deuces wild. They even claimed it was their own original design.

Their site works just fine. Try again...
I have ordered from him several times, either direct or through Ebay and have had zero problems. I've had great communication and service. His clones seem to be of good quality.

What Dan at MorreRockets needs to understand is this. Legalities aside, ignoring the RARE opinion that these types of dealings may be morally acceptable, this is a VERY small consumer niche. We, the rocket community, to a major extent, know everyone else in the hobby; By reputation or extension if not personally. I may not know someone but I know someone who knows someone....You get the idea. Point being we're a well connected network. It has been my experience that most folks in this hobby market also have a deep sense of fair play. If someone is taking advantage of our fellow hobbiest, we tend to rally. In this case, If Dan doesn't get his ducks in a row he may be looking at a wholesale boycot of his product by the buying public, a perfectly LEGAL action by market consumers. This community has nearly always stepped up to support the Ma and Pa shops, It's part of that sense of fair play I mentioned But we have a hard time with someone taking the "Kiss off or I'll sue" attitude. My message to Dan would be worry less about what you can get away with LEGALLY (real or percieved) and start paying attention to market opinion. The law might tell you you CAN make your product but we will be the ones to buy it...OR NOT!
