We've listed a Shrox StarShuttle boost glider kit on eBay. As expected from Shrox, this is a striking kit featuring a futuristic design.

Oh my gosh! What is the address on that one?
Shrox Industria, 2105 P Street, Eureka, CA 95501
(Which, of course, means that this kit is the really, really rare version that's worth a fourtune ....)
Shrox, you should make another production run on this one. Please.
I had thought about that. It turned out the glider was very, very tricky to get to glide well. I quit making it while I looked for a better parts set up.
But, you didn't answer the question about making another production run?
Or if not, would you be willing to make the plans available?
Tks

You have to remember I work for a major model rocket company now, I can't release anymore plans like that. And I can't tell you what plans there are for my old designs either...however, they will not be lost.
So what, did this major model rocket company pay you for the rights to all of your previous designs when they hired you? Or does your contract have some sort of non-compete clause that would make releasing something not designed for the major model rocket company a no no?
Unless they have optioned all your old designs, seems to me like you wouldn't have any trouble selling the plans for something that was designed prior to your relationship with them.

I understand about not competing with your employer. Maybe one day Quest could offer this as a kit.
In a meantime, let's approach this from a different direction.
Does anyone have a Shrox StarShuttle plan they'd be willing to post publically? Seems as if people would be willing to pay a few bucks as well.

A non-compete would prevent something like this.
However, since Shrox mentioned NDAs, coupled with some other things he has said, I suspect we'll see some currently unavailable Shrox designs coming out as Quest designs, in time.

I think that operating under a ... hey, over there, isn't that Patrick Stewart?
Ever hear of NDAs?
Even if you don't have plans at the moment, you could just say that and you'll still have the respect of people who love your work and would like to see more of it.
He said he won't be releasing the kit (or plans) any time soon and that he can't talk about Quest's plans. That seems like a reasonable response to me. The rest was supposition from others.
In the mean time, there's still a kit available on eBay. Hint. Hint.
BTW ... I just recalled getting a small dowel in the mail from Shrox shortly after receiving the kit. So, the kit may be missing this one small part. If I can find it, I'll include it with the kit. If not, it's easily duplicated.
