Robert Galejs - 10 Jan 2006 14:21 GMT
I won a couple of US Rockets prizes in the Save Rocketry Now
Raffle: two rocket kits and a motor casing.  I received the kits
but no sign of the motor yet.  I sent email to info@usrockets.com
in October and just after New Years, with no response.

Has anyone who won a US Rockets motor actually received one?

Airplane Parts".. (:-)

Hey,

  Didn't say anything about propellant.  Hardware is legal to send
any way one wants.  I can buy an M motor if I want but no one is
going to sell me the reload without an L3 and LEUP.

Sure :)

  But the shipper wouldn't have to label it with anything at all.
I get kits and hardware all the time without any special labelling
on it. As long as there is no propellant the carriers don't care.  Who
knows, maybe the lawsuit will bring some relief.

I got the 29mm motor hardware that I won.  It came right away.

 Hey,

  Anyone get any of the parachutes from Covert?  I won one and have not
heard hide nor hair from him. Built one of your MAD detectors from
Aerocon.  Haven't launched it yet but works and is cool.

Emailed Jeff last week for an update.  Jeff said is going to use this
month to get the rest of the chutes out from the raffle.

I won one, and received it months ago. It was a bit slow in coming but
not that slow.

He still owes me a kit from the raffle. I've sent him half a dozen
emails asking when he intends to ship it. No reply. Jerry must not
like Massachusetts rocketeers.

ONE of the Titan kits did not ship. Yours.

Sorry. This month the paperwork in the Titam kit is being updated (as
well as Micro-Sentra SRB), and the estimate of shipment by USR is about
2-10-06.

Sorry for the delay.

You could contact USR and ask for an exchange to another kit as well.

BTW only a small fraction of MA rocketeers are evil souls.

Not including you.

I will also take this opportunity to repeat that the 38mm pencil
holders, er, reloadable motor caes, have not shipped either.

Jerry

Speaking of which, I'm about to start the build on that Sonic 2200 I
scored from you via ebay a while back but I somehow lost the
instructions.  Do you have a updated, maybe online version of the those
docs?

I don't have a problem with the 2/10/06 shipping date. My complaint
was that you never answered the 6 emails I sent asking if you had a
shipping date.

I was busy and have now replied to all with a single message. Two if you
include this one.

My main complaint with this industry is it has been so badly managed and
self-destructively harmed by its "leeders" that it cannot be even a full
time job except for one or two firms, and even those are hurting badly.
