Estes Industries supplied re-labeled model rocket engines to Rocket Supply Co.

EDIT

Found the following in the June 1970 MRm Article on the Pittsburg Spring Convention article:

"SAI announced the purchase of the entire Rocket Supply(AMROCS) line ... Perhaps the most
interesting of their new models is the Quasar, a high-performance model employing a single core engine, and three strap-on pods, which are jettisoned at burnout"

Edit 2 SAI Quasar was flown at MIT MR Convention April 1970. Turned in a perfect flight with all 3 strap-ons and center core firing.

Also in June 1970 issue of MRm, page 33, is the Space Age Industries line-up, showing the Quasar on the display table just to the left of the SAI three stage Omega III model rocket.

The Space Age Industries purchase of Rocket Supply Company (AMROCS) is mentioned on page 34 of the same vol. 2, no. 9, June 1970 issue of Model Rocketry magazine.
