Mike I have seen this picture a few times on the Internet at a hobby show and was wondering where this collection is kept? Also could Estes advertise the next time these rockets will be on display? I for one would like to see them. Are most of these your builds? Thank you David

Jerry, that second link's article has a very familiar name, Matt Ota. He's an old buddy of mine from the 1970's; we met in central Texas for a NAR Regional Meet in Dripping Springs, TX (Matt was in the Air Force then, stationed at Reese AFB near Lubbock). He took some fantastic pictures of my Saturn - IV clustered payloader, which I still have today (the pics). I'm still in touch with him; he's working at some observatory in California.

Those Estes catalog model displays are pretty much the same one I saw in Austin, TX (October 2007) at the Makers Faire, where Estes had a model builder's event. I was there on the Saturday that weekend to assist the Estes staff on hand with the activities. Also took a lot of pics of the catalog models, but won't post since they're pretty much the same as you posted.

Matt flew rockets at Lucerne and before that with the local model rocket clubs here in CA in the early 80's. There are quite a few photos of Matt Ota in CRm. He was there for the start of HPR as it was formalized. He wasn't very political. He and moose and tooch just flew rockets. Jerry |

I think Matt "is" a member of YORF; just doesn't log in too much (or does he?!). I invited him here several years ago.

Not to my knowledge - Matt has given up rocketry. He came back to Southern Indiana to visit for a couple days last Thanksgiving (he still has some cousins living here) and I got to meet up with him for an hour or so to catch up a bit. (We went to high school together and he's the one who got me interested in model rocketry in the first place.) Greg |

Last I checked he was disillusioned with the internet, and who could blame him?

Jerry, you live near him? If so, how about telling him he still has many loyal friends here? And tell him I said "hi."

I hear from him by email every couple of years. Next time I will suggest YORF. His experience with ROL and rmr was shall we say bad.
