Prices??

[AfterBurners]

Has anyone else noticed an increase in prices from vendors? Went on Madcow's website and it seems the prices on the kits went up anywhere $35-50 I wonder if this has something to do with the shipping issues?? Sorry for the typos. I know in California they have a lot of ships anchored off Long Beach. Just wondering if that has anything to do with it?

No, but I've heard a rumor that motor prices are going way up in January.

I just stocked up bigtime on nearly everything I use to make my products as I noticed the prices starting to creep up. So far my material prices haven't gone up enough that I can't absorb it, but that can only go so far. I can't image any vendors have seen their cost to produce going down.

My AT dealer told me 10%.

Prices are going up everywhere due to (a) supply chain disruptions and (b) massively increased shipping costs. It is going to take a while for all this to settle back to normal, maybe not until 2023. Brace yourselves.

At the rate I've been building rockets I have plenty to keep me busy until then. I also picked up some AT 29 hardware so I'm capable of flying every sized 29mm motor. I'm not planning on going up to 38's unless I change my mind on some of the BF and BS sales this year.

On a side note I've had 2 weeks off from work and haven't touched any of my rockets projects. I go back to work on the 8th. It seems my vacation is spent doing other things aside from building.

I've been a little lackluster in my rocketry lately, too. Just haven't felt the urge.

Same. I need to repair a Comanche 3 that crushed its forward body tube. I bought a new kit to get another set of decals, but they were "new style" instead of the native american theme. Sigh.
