His kits use PML parts and his own exclusive parachutes for recovery.

I agree that a smaller scale model rocket version of this would be very cool indeed. I'm partial to the SLS kits so my vote would be large enough to see the details of the model but light enough to fly on smaller motors.

I'm not sure how licensing would apply so please excuse my ignorance but would the motion picture company have the rights to this even if Ky Michaelson designed and built them to use in the movie?
