Does the same thing apply to the Full-Line of U.S. Rockets kits on the website, too ? I've noticed that online sources for your kits only carry a few simple kits.

False. Do not confuse club certs with other markets. Your are not in those other markets precisely because you are a MR/HPR rocketeer, whether a club member or not. That happens to be the most over-regulated channel any rockets are sold into in this country or others. Imposed by NAR/TRA (and their lead manufacturers) on your "behalf".

Dealers decide what to carry or not. They have access to a wide range of kits up to 3" diameter through our stocking distributor. In the event certified consumer motors are ever re-released they will also be available through the same channels. I see on our SU website we have a 24mm 80F100 and a 29mm 80F007. Hmmm. Lots of those have been manufactured over the years and were quite popular until TRA started to impose their unilateral rules favorable to some manufacturers but not others. FSI F100 and F7 were about 45-50 N-s.

Of course. There are commercial and industrial uses that use rocket motors for moving mass on demand which are not strictly rocket applications, but propulsion. Some propellant is used to turn impellers to operate APU's. I have extensive disclosures of FX transactions on my website for you to view. There is limited discussion of the military uses of our products for obvious reasons, but there are lots of oddball applications they put rocket motors and propellants to.

Sporting goods retailers, hobby retailers, toy stores, and tool supply.

The ONLY outlets that care about NAR/TRA at all are the strictly model rocket and high power rocket markets as carefully defined to narrow the market to 5000 users worldwide.

Thanks for asking.

Jerry

I LIKE 'JACKASS' applications of rocket motors.
If there is no-harm (no matter HOW dangerous or foolish) there should be NO FOUL no matter where the act is performed.

Ever consider a name change? That way even the newbies will know what to expect.

Really sorry to hear this! I never met Dave but his passion for all things rocketry was obvious. His craftsmanship skills were always a true pleasure to see in his postings on the forums. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Steve
