Funny thing is, NO activities I have ever been involved with that include rocketry EVER has anyone that looks like that around !

That's one reason I posted the question. I've been seeing his stuff on eBay for a pretty good while.

Sirus Rocket group sells a Viper nose that is an exact copy of the Estes original.

Dan of MoreRockets does have a presence in rocket forum land after all. He is TRF member dappa1012.
Considering the clones he's selling, seems like he would have offered his goods here like he did at TRF. .

Funny how old threads have a way of coming back around.
I exchanged several emails with the man that started InFlight back around 2009 and offered to help him produce a complete BSG Viper but he already had 99% of the clone. He needed the missing piece... the nc. Later, he decided to go a different route and sold them primarily on Ebay for a year, maybe two. Well before that, Randy and I were fans of Mike's Moldin Oldies and after an exchange with Mike and his wife I sent him the original Viper cone he used to create his first clone. That's how Red Squadron came to be. Most people wanted only 1 cone but being business people we knew Mike needed to sell enough to make it worth his while to do them. As it turned out a batch was 11-12 so I told him we'd buy 10 and sell them to club members or other flyers and so we did. He would be left with a good useable mold and a way to make more. I originally built 4. Not too long after, Mike decided to step away from making the Oldies parts and worked out a deal with David at Sirius for him to continue with the MO line of parts, and that is how the BSG Viper cone clone became part of the Sirius line up. Since David began making the Viper cones we've bought 5 more bringing our Viper count to 10. I have been waiting for 5 years to do a mass launch but need a club system to do it unless Randy stops procrastinating about building a set of pads just for Red Squadron. Since he began writing, he hardly has time to fly what's already built or make it to a club launch. Back to the topic, I think the last guy to sell the More Rockets Viper faded away 3-4 years ago.

I miss InFlight. I think I built four of his kits before he left the hobby. I have yet to fly the Mach 10, but that day is coming. I have the More Rockets Viper, but I bought it early before he started "borrowing" his imagery from others.
