Yep, they made very nice Estes Clones of kits nobody else attempted.
Really reasonable prices, and they sold decals really reasonably (like half the price of any one else). Can't remember if it was the father or son that got sick, but they folded quickly after and some got stiffed. One was on the West Coast and one was on the East Coast, which logistically was goofy. Not sure of the separation of duties, but I always dealt with Caleb (son). It was too bad they folded. Had really nice stuff. They folded up just as Semroc was hitting their "peak". I still REALLY miss Carl and the old Semroc. I wish they would come out with more SLS kits. The old Centuri "Large Scale" and Enerjet stuff really rocked.

I had 7 of their kits, but only built 3 so far. I was real happy with all 3 that I've built.
Still plan to get to the other 4 (some day....) |

1 step above cloning the kits yourself, they just gathered the parts and printed off a copy of the old Estes instructions.
Did they morph into MoreRockets, or is that a different guy with the same business model? kj |

More Rockets is different. Same business model, bigger prices.

I'm not sure Morerockets aren't the same guys.
I really liked PDR kits. Nice parts, great prices.
