Whatever became of Dr. Rocket hardware for AT RMS motors?  Do any
dealers still sell it?

Dr.Rocket has basically fallen off the face of the Earth for model
rocketry.  No one has been able to contact him in months and orders
are going unfilled.  The suggested replacement is Rouse-Tech as they'r
made to the same specs (Aerotech's specs) and so are interchangeable
with Dr.Rocket and Aerotech hardware (excluding the hobby line cases)

Andy at WhatsUpHobbies is a good source.

His site is still up but emails are bounced back.  I suspect perhaps
other outside obligations are taking their toll on him.
He does M.D. for a living so work might be getting in the way or some
other significant life change.

Expensive wind chime, I'll say. :-)
Did look up online and he has an F.P. office in Nevada. I called the
number and the receptionist says Dr. is well, not ill and that they
are open for business.  I don't think he's passed away.

(I also did an online obit check and his name didn't come up.)

I mean, if the guy is bored or doesn't want to maintain the business,
he should at least announce it, honor any outstanding obligations and
then bow out gracefully.  Finally, close down the webpage.
