I really like your designs and I saw Barry say that about stability margin and nose weight user error, and I actually agree with it. Mike elaborated the rockets coned a bit with the nose weight. Not so sure I see that the same way, but I got the impression Estes was willing to use your designs if they were convenient. They have a pretty overboard vetting process for kits that have killed some sweet designs. I wouldn't take it personally. The whole point of a kit is to waste motors.

What about balsa? I still say you should get some plans together and sell them with decals. I'd buy.

I for one sure am glad that a HOBBY company acquired Estes instead of the previous regime that ran it like a plastic toy company. Maybe we will get items real hobby rocket builders will want. Hopefully they will start producing single-use engines of flavors other than VANILLA also. I WANT MY B14's !!!!!!!!

Hey Doc, Now that we're well into March, what's happening with Estes? Do you still have connections? Any new information at all? Randy www.vernarockets.com |
