I don't know where the mold is, possibly with Gary or Anthony. Korey has moved on to the medical manufacturing field. Ace Rockets faded out of existence after LDRS really got started (3-4-5). Ace Rockets of San Fernando, CA bootstrapped HPR into existence on the airframe side, making the larger motor combinations possible. Once average Joes got into HPR the rockets tended to get both bigger and simpler so LOC became more prevalent.

Ron Shultz sold his automatic weapons business and went whole hog into kit manufacturing including several nose cone molds he largely made in his own basement machine shop. Lots of Crafts became LOC which became LOC Precision. When Ron was ready to sell his business he found a really good guy in Barry to take over and he has been cruising ever since.
