And thanks to everybody who has contributed more to it!


I'm hoping to do more of these as I brush up on my skills. Of course, if anybody else wants to contribute, that would be great.

thanks again


We do similar designs to many of the old kits. We do not use any material that is copyrighted, patented, or trademarked. We try to keep the build appeal of the old kits while taking advantage of thirty years of technology. As such, our kits are not actually identical clones, but have many subtile, but significant differences from the old kits.

Our cc:Space Plane does not ship with instructions, since the originals can be downloaded from Jimz's site. But, when I showed the kit and instructions to Vern at NARCON, he pointed out that their first three kits were released without copyright protection.

We also only produce "orphaned" kits from companies long out of business, but need to be remembered for their contributions to the hobby.

How do scaled-up versions of "copyrighted" rockets weigh in?

I've scaled up an Estes "Alpha" to 1.34" and 2.8" OD. Also have up-scaled a Estes "Viking" to 1.34" OD as well.

IMO they'd make nice kits......but I'm a wee bit biased.....
