Does U.S. Rockets Still Exist?

[jqavins]

Apogee still has some kits in stock, and others still listed but showing as out of stock. I was on the on the "notify me" list for the "F with Multiple D Pods", and that has disappeared.

I met JI at an event about a year ago and asked about his kits. He said he could make them if I emailed him.

I just checked Apogee's website and I see 4 U.S. Rockets. It looks like all 4 are in-stock except one of the kits has only one left. Perhaps Performance Hobbies might have some. Years ago U.S. Rockets had a website, but I can't find it now. Overall it would probably be better to order an U.S. Rockets kit from a vendor who has it in stock.

The IGA supermarket in Lucerne used to carry USR kits. A long time ago. To take a break during a ROCStock we'd go get a few kits, fresh stuff for dinner, some ammo, cold beer. Good times

I checked Apogee yesterday, and at least one had a red button to get onto a notification list for restock. Today I checked Performance Hobbies (thank you) and the one I've been looking at isn't there either. Ugh.

You can always try emailing JI. I ordered something from him direct a few months ago. He responded quickly, and I didn’t have to pay until after I received it.

Or you can pull a Rocksim or Open Rocket file from RocketReviews and clone it. I do that a lot for OOP vintage kits.

 

[jqavins]

I wanted to know first if it actually is OOP, as I consider cloning an available kit to be rather underhanded.

Mr. Irvine emailed me back and asked for an address, so I think I Just Ordered it.
