I hate to pick nits but I am positive the word you wanted was "calibers". Calipers are used to measure things.Just FYI - On a recent episode of The Rocketry Show, John Boren stated that all Estes kits are supposed to be designed to a minimum of something like 1.5 calipers stability. I assume this is to provide a margin of safety if someone overbuilds, and gets way too much weight aft or puts a larger engine in than the rocket was designed.
You are not starting a business and you are selling a bag of parts to someone. Does everyone who sells on craigslist or eBay need to have an LLC?
I would love to know just how many people get this reference! Lol
Movie trivia...Mr. Mom!
Regarding the actual kit, I would like to see something that's more than just a collection of parts. For example, RW kits are great for what you get but It's basically just the airframe and fins. You still have to determine how you are building the fin can, deisgn the av-bay, design the recovery setup, design the motor retainer, design the nosecone retention setup, etc. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing for me as I like my design systems, but having a full thought out kit with everything designed in already would be nice for the occasions where I need something quick. Other than Giant Leap I am not sure anyone else does it.
