Barry,
Thanks again for taking the time to answer questions. I found it very informative and I hope you'll do it again sometime. |

I think he may have been talking about safety from a manufacturing perspective, whether it is post-processing, or maybe automated pressing around a long pintle, or pressing in a basically full casing. Then again, maybe he was talking about potential misuse (via naïveté) by customers.

Well, I've read through all questions and answers and enjoyed the read. Thanks Mr. Tunick for taking the time to respond.
Oh, and should you have an apartment in Bavaria let me know. Would enjoy a chat together with some weisswurschte and real beer

Maybe someone could elaborate on why some of these guys have an attitude toward Estes/Barry Tunick!?!
Most of the stuff he said they won't do involves high cost or more dangerous engines. There are plenty of new companies that deal with that. Estes has always, to my knowledge, leaned towards the younger/safer stuff. I don't see it as something to get pissy over... |

The attitudes towards Barry have come from years of neglect towards the relationship. Barry has given a HUGE olive branch though at this point, which is great. Better than anything we've seen before in the hobby.
I'm curious though why the state of Colorado shut down the tours of Estes. Couldn't they open a "front area" again where people could come in, see the kits, talk to Christine ( ), and see a bit of history from older kits in display cases? I could see them not permitting tours of the motor machines, but couldn't there be a "front-end" tour? Especially if there was a partnership with Vern and Gleda!!! |

I wondered that too. It could be that CO modified liability rules such that insurance for such an endeavor is now cost prohibitive. Ohio did something similar to doctors twenty years ago and our legislators said that all the doom and gloom people were wrong. Now there are zero OBGYN's or other 'high risk' practices in poor rural counties like ours. Any prenatal care is an hours drive away and out of reach for many low income folk. Better living through bureaucracy. |

My wife LOVES weisswurshte (me too) but due to new food preparation codes here, it is almost impossible to get. I don't know about Barry, but the next time we're in Germany (it's been too long), we just might take you up on that. |

I am a little surprised that this is proprietary. I was just trying to see what direction Estes is going. Then again I guess this displays my utter lack of knowledge of big business practices. Sorry that I broke the rules. -DAllen |
