Well, it's his name on most of those Old Rockets since the Scout and Mabel. Does anybody know if he's making any progress on his autobiography? Or if he's...
Just a short video of the launches we had 17 December 2011 in Pueblo, Colorado. If you happen to be in Pueblo on 21 January 2012, I would encourage to come...

Here are some new videos of "out reach" projects to neighboring communities and our model and high power rocket launch. We had a special VIP visitor-Vern Estes...
Looks like this website may have died. Too bad, I found some of the older kits on this archive site interesting. If any one else has better luck with the link,...
Estes' 2012 catalog is up on their web site. It includes the new Pro Series II motors: E30, F50, and G60. They appear to be composite motors (which makes...
The Pro Series II motors are AeroTech motors with new labels. ... -- Christopher Brian Deem NAR 12308 TRA 2256 level II [Non-text portions of this message have...
They are made by AEROTECH and labelled for ESTES . . . I wish that there were different motors with different time-thrust curves, rather than just the AEROTECH...
Hey, I got tipped to http://boyslife.org/wayback/ which is an archive of Boys Life magazines going "wayback"! Pick a decade on the dial and search for...

I meant "proprietary" motors, made only for Estes, with different time-thrust curves than any other manufacturer offers. Dave Fitch There are, just look up...
Yep, and I still have most of my Boy's Life magazines. One note though - the "Akela" rocket designed for Cub Scouts was from Centuri. It was a repackaged...
One of the students at the school my wife teaches at is using on of Art's designs for his science project. Based on "Why does this fly". I hope he makes it...
So did I! I ordered the catalog over the summer between 8th grade and high school. Of course the hobby was illegal in California then, so I built models for...
Jack, You sound just like me. I first saw the ads in Boy's Life. IÂ built plenty of Centuri rockets and never got to fly them! In 1970, we finally got a engine...
Well, here is something that does not make much sense. As we all may have seen by now, Estes is charging $50 plus for the new Pro Series II F & G power motors...
Estes price includes hazmat charges, the more you buy, the less hazmat per motor. Buy 12 f or G motors, and they drop $30 off the price of each motor. That...
ESTES had better get that taken care of, quick. Otherwise, they may find themselves "swimming" in motors that no one is buying ! Dave Fitch ... From: Lester...
Those outrageous prices just happen to coincide with AT raising their prices on the same motors. Some may call that a coicidence- I call it price fixing among...
So long as the mfg does not do it in coordination with his vendor it’s OK. But this was not done as a result of AT suddenly deciding, independently, to raise...
And you know this how? AeroTech raised their prices last September, not just on the motors that they are selling to Estes, but on all of their single use...
Sorry, but your argument is flawed. However, it is not worth the effort to pursue it. If you do not think Aerotech is behaving honestly then do not buy their...
My argument is not flawed at all. It’s based upon a great knowledge of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Tell me where I’m wrong. From: Harold Sasloe Sent:...
