Default Pimp Daddy Rocketry

I flew a couple of my PDR birds yesterday and posted some pics on Facebook. Someone asked what PDR was and I checked EMRR/RocketReviews to see what kits were listed under the name. Very few were listed and I know they had a fairly impressive lineup. I had the A-20 Demon, Cassiopeia, Starlab, USS Atlantis and Space Station Aquarius and I know my wishlist was at least 20 deep. Anyone able to add to the list?

Comrade Bill,

I have an Honest John (M-31, BT-50 size) and the Thor Agena. There maybe more in the build pile. It's way too hot to check the attic.

I tried the Wayback Machine, but I can't figure out the results. Seems to be telling me that others are looking for it as well. Maybe it's too far back?

Forgot about the SPEV. I think the reason I didn't get one was because I'd just cloned it.

I have the Alien Explorer and Gemini Titan (built and flown a number of times each), and also have their Starship Excalibur still in-the-bag unbuilt.

PD Rocketry - A-20 Demon {Kit} (Snip)


Well, I thought I had this PD Rocketry A-20 Demon In my collection too so I looked for it. It turns out my kit was made by InFlight Rockets. Nice foil decals too just like the originals. I didn’t even remember InFlight Rockets until I pulled the kit so I searched online and found a Wasp kit review on EMRR that you built made by InFlight!
Too many Rockets ... too little memory

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I thought that I had bought an Astron Sprint clone from PDR, but I'm not 100% certain that it was from them. I remember buying the kit off eBay and ordering a set of laser-cut fins for it from Carl at Semroc, I haven't been able to locate it yet to confirm or deny. I still have a couple of boxes of unbuilt kits left to search, though.

I did find a few kits that I have absolutely no recollection of buying, like a Black Brant III from Inflight Rockets, plus I bunch that I had forgotten about until I unearthed them.
