Folks- I'm just getting back into the forum here. There are several people that I told I would get stuff to and I haven't done it... I stink. I'm going to be doing my best to tie up those loose ends. If you have a "junk drawer" in your home (almost everyone does) Take it completely out of the...

In the 12 years that I operated Dr. Zooch rockets I had some really good-selling kits: Saturn V, Saturn IB, Space Shuttle, Mercury Redstone... Yet, I had some real dogs that just didn't sell and the bottom of that list is the Juno II. This is odd, because it is one of my "high fliers" very often...

Since closing production of Dr., Zooch Rockets and handing that off to eRockets, I found myself with a LOT of new, custom-milled balsa parts. You see, eRockets mills their own parts. So, I figured that many of the folks out there who are scratch-builders would like to make use of these unique...

Okay gang, the last of the Dr. Zooch parts lots are now up on e-bay. For the first time since 2004 my parts bins are all empty. Some of the current lots have bids and will run for a few days and at least 3 at this moment have the buy-it-now option. Frankly, I'm amazed at how these got scooped...

In case you've not heard, I'm clearing out my stock of Dr. Zooch custom balsa parts along with centering rings, lugs, engine clips etc. I'm selling them as lots or big piles on e-bay. I intend to exhaust everything in my bins by Feb 1. Everything is going WAY below my original cost and is a...

Folks, I've seen some questions about Dr. Zooch Rockets and my stopping production. Here's the facts. For the past few years I've been suffering from problems with my lower back and, most applicable, my neck. I have vertebra out of line and they can cause some discomfort... ok... hurt like...

Folks, some of you may find a shortage of Dr. Zooch Rockets. This is due to the fact that I, Wes the owner of Dr. Zooch, recently suffered 3 blown disks in my neck. The painful issue has left me without proper use of my right arm. I can pick up stuff and hold stuff etc, but I cannot do...

I've been asked if Dr. Zooch Rockets has a Soyuz that is proportional to the Zooch Saturn IB. Well, with the 40th anniversary of Apollo Soyuz coming up- the answer will be YES! We are producing a T-20 tube based Soyuz 19 and it will be sold IN LIMITED EDITION as a set with our ASTP Saturn IB...

Did you know that the guy who runs Dr. Zooch Rockets is also an author? Well, he is... or should I say I am. In fact I've published 17 books since 1991. Lately I've decided to try my hand at some spaceflight writing and this in 2014 I composed a 6 book series on spaceflight. The first book in...

50 years ago today Gemini 3 launched- I was in the second grade as we watched the launch on a TV at Nelle Haley Elem. school. Just over 7 years later I was on a Gemini kick and I built a rocket that I called Echo. It carried a two ant crew and did four flight in the summer of 1972. More than 3...

Folks- if you visit the dr.zooch dot com web site you'll find that I am no longer selling kits retail by way of the web site. As of today I'm only selling WHOLESALE to my retailers. The wholesale traffic has grown to the point where it has become impossible to provide good service to the...

FYI- for everyone... July was not the best month, it ended with my computer network getting the FBI Virus and knocked me off line and out of business until August 7th. Which sort of worked out because the week before I developed an abscessed tooth that needed surgery, which was done of August...

Has anyone had good luck with these Estes LCD altimeters? I bought two for a launch at my daughter's school and both appear to be not working when tested.
