I paid them $600 6 weeks ago for a dozen rockets. Tried to contact multiple times with no response. DO NOT BUY FROM LAUNCH PAD!!!
$50 seems rather steep for a TLP kit..
TLP kits are currently OOP and out of stock too at many vendors, the owner is evidently having some serious health issues. Some TLP kits like the Nike Hercules are more than $50 so $600 for a dozen kits could be possible.
The owner needs to shut the web site down and stop taking payment. I found a vendor who sells the plans you just buy materials to build. I'm working on a AIM-9L Sidewinder. Just finished a AIM-7F Sparrow kit I found for $34.99. Some kits are still out there
JQ66, Uncle Mike's Rocket Shack on ebay shows they have 2 Nike Ajax's and Heavenly Hobbies says that they have at least one. The price looks way too low on Uncle Mike's Rocket Shack.
Thatnks. I did not see the plan pack for the Nike Ajax, but I did buy the one for the Nike Hercules.
Heavenly Hobbies looks like they have it, but when you go to load it into the shopping cart, it says it is out of stock.
I bought a few plan packs from them. Sidewinder, Phoenix and Nike Hercules. They are good if you don't mind locating all materials to build the rocket. I found everything on the internet
I did, thanks for asking. PayPal refunded me. They did not respond to PayPal at all so I won by default. As for the above comment on the use of the word "toxic," I didn't read it as an insult. I think it was meant as a commonly used business term and I would agree that there may be severe damage that may greatly diminish the value to the point of it being toxic, or full of liabilities. For example, they are likely banned from PayPal and possibly other cc processing means, they may have a ton of unfulfilled orders with no means to fill them, etc. I feel badly for anyone in poor health but I don't think toxic had anything to do with that or that it was meant as an insult, rather a business full of liabilities or in otherwise severely poor public standing...or both.
At this stage that website & domain are toxic. Its like Sherries Hot Rockets was a few years back.
Weren't there other issues with Sherri? not just a health thing..
I can assume that if ill health hit you, we can all call you "Toxic" as well?
One's health is not always a "Choice" we can make, and if no one is in place to fill a gap to deal with things...
The owner probably feels like his supporters have already sharpened their knives and are lurking at his back...
On top of medical and probably financial issues.
Bad health for over a year? Not likely. TLP has done this several times in the past operate perfectly then disappear in the shadows and continue to take money and not ship product. Chuck also has a wife/ involved in TLP why hasn't she shut the website down? Now its for sale. Sorry THEY made their site Toxic. This is the third time I know its happened sorry you get one sympathy card from me that's all.
