Prior to yesterday's opening, that was not a consideration. After yesterday, I will attend as many as humanly possible.Any chance you might show up at launches with your stock? MDRA's launch site is a 2-1/2 hour drive from Allentown, about the same as my drive, except I come up from the south.
Yes, indeed. There are many clubs in PA, NJ, MD that would do a lot of business with you if you were willing to deliver at the field, and even more business if you brought some inventory for people to browse at the field.Any chance you might show up at launches with your stock?

If you came to a Rad Rocks launch I guarantee I would stock up on some things (e.g., F15-0 motors which I cannot reasonably acquire since HL stopped carrying them). We've been vendorless for a while now. Only a bit over an hour from Allentown...
I should add a disclaimer: The Rad Rocks launches are fairly small. I don't know how much business you'd need to do to justify the visit. But I'll bet I wouldn't be the only one looking to buy stuff.If you came to a Rad Rocks launch I guarantee I would stock up on some things (e.g., F15-0 motors which I cannot reasonably acquire since HL stopped carrying them).

It is important to understand this - This is for enjoyment for me, and to help feed my habit. 100% of profits buys bulk kits & support equipment for local schools. I am by no means "well off" but blessed enough in life that I am able to do this. If I was in it for money, it is the wrong business. Don't get me wrong, I'll break even, I won't lose money, but I bring up Mr. Metcalf, my teacher in Grade school who got me hooked - If I can get one kid to feel the way I do when the launch button is hit, then I'll be a happy guy. And you all know that feeling - that fraction of a second between pushing the button & the WHOOSH!I should add a disclaimer: The Rad Rocks launches are fairly small.

Just ordered your last Doorknob, nice price and shipping option. Site seemed a little slow for me in the beginning, but seems to be doing better the more I surf around.
Site literally just went up yesterday (Hey! I have 80% of everyone's changes made!) I was told to give it a week or three and it will start showing on the searches.I would recommend registering with google and other search pages. I tried finding the web page typing the website into the google search, and nothing of the sort comes up. Had to type the physical address in the top. This isn’t an issue for those who have found this post, but will be for potential future customers.
You have a nice site but it takes too long to look through and find anything? Everything is clumped together and not sorted. It makes the buying experience a hassle.Real Quick - 50 year lover of launches, and literally came up with the idea "I'll start a store, I'll sell as inexpensively as I can, I'll help pay for my motors, and the balance goes to donate starter packages to local schools" Spread the learning, if you will. The company is new, the site is new - I want to concentrate strictly on rockets and motors. All prices are 35% below MSRP. And just to see if anyone is reading this? $50 gift card to the 1st, 5th, and 10th person that gives me constructive critisism on the website.

I'll definitely buy from you to support our hobby and your habitI completely agree - working now on search criteria available to the user - Search Motors by Diameter, Impulse, RMS, DMS, SU, Propellant Type - What else?

Lots of motors... are these all in-stock, or is it a combination of stock and pre-order?
Is the inventory shown real, prices real, and can you process a purchase at this point?
Do you stock all those?
But what I really want to know is, do you actually have (3) O5280X sitting there in stock !?!?!?
So to clarify - do you have aerotech motors actually in stock? If I ordered motors today when would you expect them to ship?
100% of the rockets, and 90% of the motors, to be 100% by tomorrow - Sorry, not intentional. Feel free to ask absolutely anything
Currently, everything Aerotech on the site is held with a placecard logo. I am going thru & adding pics & descriptions. One by one. I see being done by 2025.....One thing I like to see on motor pages is a graph and/or numeric data showing burn time, impulse, peak thrust and average thrust. It just saves me flicking to thrustcurve.org and having to search it out.
Good luck with your endeavour .
Many things improved already! Your efforts at Doing This Right are really commendable.Currently, everything Aerotech on the site is held with a placecard logo. I am going thru & adding pics & descriptions. One by one. I see being done by 2025.....
It's rare to have someone genuinely interested in feedback. I'll try to stay on the good side of the helpful <--> annoying scale.You have been exceptionally helpful (minus the heart attack you gave me) and I thank you.
