Why?
I was somewhat less than impressed with some of the mass-market offerings. Rocket kits that include poor quality parts or don't perform the way they should..... I knew I could do better.
What does impress me?
The array of smaller kit manufacturers that can produce interesting kits with high quality parts.
This was something I could do.
I extensively flight test all designs before releasing them in kit form.
I test some designs to destruction in order to provide the best possible kits from the highest quality components.
I have recently set up a "recovery test stand" that enables me to pressure test designs for more reliable deployment.
I also have an Air Cannon set up to test survivability of my designs. Why go to all the trouble?
I want rockets that work as good as they possibly can.

Contact
They require some time and skill to build.
But the results are well worth the effort.
I want to provide the best value in all my rocket designs.
I use only high quality parts.
Top quality components include:
- Quality Body tubes
-Balsa nosecones and transitions.
-Mylar Streamers and Plastic Parachute kits.
-Kevlar or Steel Recovery Cords.
- Swivels
- Proper nose weights when needed.
Five years ago Santa brought a rocket kit for my daughter. I was quickly hooked again.
Modeling History
I began building models of all types as a youngster. At the age of 21 I got my first professional job building models. Now 19 years later I have been a prototype modeler for three large model railroad manufacturers, worked on one feature film, and contracted for many avid model railroaders’ private projects.
Product development
My other passion is motor sports. Currently running a two-car team in NHRA and IHRA Drag racing at a regional level. I am one of the owners and builders of the Hot Rod Lincoln. As a result I have developed several Drag Racing related automotive parts. That's what happens when you race a car that was never designed to go that fast, like a Lincoln!
