What exactly are you looking forward to seeing?
- A wall of LPR? Other than Estes / Quest?
- A wall of MPR? and related Aerotech Singled Use motors (24mm & 29mm)?
- A wall of HPR? with a few that straddle the MPR / HPR range? (and HPR motors; either single use or reloads, in the 29 - 38mm range?)
Top-end MPR & HPR rockets & motors are getting into a niche market, and I doubt any 'brick & mortar' hobby shops these days will be hosting a wall dedicated to it. Maybe a kit or two from LOC or Aerotech (MPR), but I feel that would be about it. And motors to suit these kits only.
I've often thought the same thing, and this is coming from a guy in the large city of Montreal. And only in Montreal did I have a shop that had a wall of MPR & HPR rockets (A few LOC & pretty much the whole Aerotech line + "Hobby line" motors) No where else did I find 'a selection' to browse thru. Even from Toronto, Kingston, Orlando and Boston, the results were the same, if they had anything other than Estes.. One or two kits, and usually dusty..
Remember as well, that AP motors require added regulation to store & sell.. So not everyone is willing to carry them.
Plan the drive out to an event, and support the local vendors at said event. Those you can thumb thru their offerings of kits & motors & such (Tim's [Wildman] trailer is "pornography"!!
)
URRG in NY in late June
MDRA in Maryland
And we get Mike from MAC Performance up to our field in July (upper VT) - but he doesn't 'bring the store' with him..
FYI:
Motors are best purchased for the year: one shot. This means only one HAZMAT fee & one shipping fee, amortized over the dozen or 2 dozen motors.. But you will need to put out $200, $500, $750 on this one-time order.. A high initial expense, but it does work out to be cheaper over the year.. (A lot of us take advantage of Tim's [Wildman] club & his 'Black Friday' sale)
