What ever happened to Aardvark Rockets

Aug 19, 2003 17 Replies

I am trying to find out what happened to aardvark rockets. I think they went out of business. Something about an auction.



Can anyone help me?


Yup, they went out of business. And there was something about an auction.

Hope that helps. ;)

I talked to Ken at Aardvark after he decided to pack it up. I told him I'd be interested in picking up the line, since we don't have any true "model" rockets. He wanted me to bid for his company in a auction. I said "no thanks".

I guess nobody else was interested in bidding either. Aardvark R.I.P.

They folded. There were a few items auctioned off on e-Bay, clearing old stock. I tried to collect on a paid order but they shuffled off back into the wood work.

It is probably one of the rarest kits in rocketry history. Do not build it.

Oh, heck, you've gone and done it now: you rubbed Jimmy Spencer. Guard your nose, and don't let him put you in the wall...

Wanna test that theory?

I have a CASE of Banshees that says you are a sack of s*it liar and do not have the funds to pay for them.

BTW what was the feedback from the kits delivered to LDRS? :)O

Jerry

I don't know what that is supposed to mean. What am I a liar about? You don't have to rub Jimmy Spencer. He usually ends up at the back all by himself.

A reiteration of:

Thanks for information. It sure sounds like a sad end to a good start.

Doesn't that leave a really big hole in the model rocket end of the world?

Try Flis Kits...they "fill the void" nicely. Quality kits with uncut balsa sheets for fins....quality balsa nose cones...simple clear instructions...and a cool line upo of kits. I just finished the Dueces Wild last night and have a Richter Recker that should be finished for a launch on Saturday.

FYI...I have no association with Flis kits other than being an extremely satisfied customer.

Out here in LA, CA we've had a pretty decent number of Flis and Art Applewhite kits show up and fly at launches. We added them to our club links page as well.
