Dead Links on BuyRockets

I believe the following are out of business:

Yank Enterprises (bought by LOC Precision?) Vaughn Bros. (a serious bummer) Blackhawk R & D Aardvark Rockets (used to have great scale kits)

I still have my Starflight Industries T shirt! David Popkin is a super guy and did a great job supporting the HPR flyers in Georgia with quality products at our launches. He turned a lot of us on to Kosdon motors. Is David still active?

I am doing everything I can to stay off that list!!!

I know for a fact that Sub-Orbital Flying Machines is, and has been, out of business. Andrew shut the doors a couple of years ago. Shame. Had some cool models. I still fly his "Imp". That little puppy seriously cooks on a D13 reload.

Roger is getting out of the hobby and is no longer updating the site. I asked him about taking over the site so it would be useful again, but he did not seem to keen on the idea.

Then he ought to shut down the site. Leaving outdated/incorrect data lying around is really rude.

I think I can speak for anyone who has one of your kits when I say that we're hoping you succeed in staying off of it!

bag more kits. we'll buy them

Awhile ago, Roger said that he wasn't going to update his site any more...

Can I suggest that you check out the Rocketry Resources directory on MaxThrust at

From a cursory look, it seems like we already have most of the links that are also listed on BuyRockets...

Funny, I don't see USRockets anywhere.

If any one has a contact for him, I'd appreciate it. I flew rockets with him as kids, and his dad and my dad were business associates.

Too bad. I used it regularly.

After posting my previous message, I compared the sites and found that there were 15 links on BuyRockets that were still valid but not on MaxThrust. We will add them as time allows.

I didn't track how many resources that are on MaxThrust but aren't on BuyRockets. But I'd have to estimate that there were at least a couple of hundred. However, we also list organizations, project home pages, how-to articles and other stuff that BuyRockets doesn't cover.

Anybody can add to the Rocketry Resources directory on MaxThrust, even Jerry. And they can submit news stories about their products or anything else they find important. Most, if not all, get published. All Jerry needs to do is register at

USRockets is one of the missing 15 resources. If Jerry spent as much time doing positive promotion of USRockets as he does with his other postings, I would probably have noticed it sooner. As it is, Jerry is in my fillfile...

I am NOT complaining. In fact I honor your work and thank you for helping everyone who wants help. Good job sir.

If you add USR I will not complain either :)

Other people might!

I have a focus on the #1 think people are asking for.

How is sell-through from visitors to your site?

MaxThrust was very cooperative in getting news out throughout the legislative initative. They are great folks, who have some really fine resources on their site.

Kudos, guys!!!
