My experience with US rockets/Jerry is as follows: * New to rocketry I posted some questions on rmr- Jerry was the first to respond. * Some time later I place a rocket order and 7days later it turns up at my door (halfway round the world!). I notified Jerry and my cc was then billed. * Subsequent orders - identical result. * An engine order placed later is taking an age but a reasonable explanation was given for this. (Now on hold pending the addition of a Hybrid to the order * Yes, sometimes Jerries replies take some deciphering, but this is no different to any of the other suppliers I have corresponded with. (All of which I imagine receive numerous e-mail requests for "information". * Unique to USR/Jerry is the speed of response to my numerous questions. I have always received one within 24hrs, frequently only hours later. Speedy replies, quick dispatch (usually), Pay on delivery.... US Rockets gets my vote for the Internet-Friendly Rocketry supplier! What's yours? - Mike Limpus P.S. Happy to here from any supplier who feels they can match the above! |

Money's in your account. Thanks. - Daniel Franklin I already see it. I am more interested in if it was easier/better than the whole money order/postage thing? - Jerry Irvine Yes, very easy. There is a B of A on every other corner and all I had to do was fill out a deposit slip and hand it over to a teller along with a check. Easy! I don't know if B of A's are as common in other parts of the country as they are here in CA, but I think so. The money order/ postage thing is easy for me also, but it means that you will have to wait longer. - Daniel Franklin |

...added value to the customer (availability, service, etc). Much as people will put down Jerry Irvine (and I'm not getting into that here!!!), one must admit that this guy has done a lot to move the landscape around. He creates. Might be interesting to get him back with a real eBusiness again, and keep him busy in non-rmr type ways (hey, don't hurt me. i'm a bleeder...). Back to the point. What eBusiness does is sell. Sadly, we need many more creators than merchants in a world that is getting as connected as ours is. And THIS is the point of what he said above. Its not about Jerry per-se or Tim or ehobbies. It is about creation and adding value where there was none before. I once tried to reach Scott (from Blacksky) for months, leaving voicemails, etc. I finally had to give up. My point is that if we don't give our support, (and friends, that means dollars, too!), then they will be forced to get day jobs and innovate as a hobby for their own satisfaction only. This will not help as many people as they do now by offerring goods and services that others do not have the abaility to recreate. I'm saying that even if the price for a comparable rocket is a couple of points higher, we should support our own. Sometimes a HIGHER price is BETTER for the CONSUMER. - Howard Deiner |

> I've seen some parts of your discussion on this topic lately, but I haven't > seen it all in one place. In order to do that, what are all the requirements? Federal requirements: none We impose a know your buyer policy in case you misuse them. State requirements: varies, CA bad, everywhere else generally good. Storage: exempt per 55.141-a-8 (please store in shipping crates or boxes then return them.) Access: Must be an adult. Shipping: Fedex airport to airport. Payment: EZpay. Ask for details in email. But in short we will deliver massive amounts to anyone anytime. You just have to promise to pay and convince us it is true. Usage: Do NOT use at an official NAR launch. Do NOT use at an official TRA launch. Other than that, good to go! Host indy launches alot more often. Intended use is in lightweight aeromodels and the propulsion units are propellant actuated devices. > - I have to be willing and able to buy a whole Pallet at once.

This point is open to discussion if the storage is a "known spot" and simply hauled to the site each time. We do voluntarily, what we ask ATF to not to do, based on the law allowing a full exemption. We want our rights back, but we do respect and account for the need for reasonable investigation of misuse. > Is that about it?

If you do 8000 AGL initially that includes M's in really big rockets and moderate power in fairly big rockets and of course the massive number of flights of 60-240ns where there are no altitude limits, and 245-2560 where a waiver is required but 8000 is adequate for all but the highest performance rockets. I would shoot for a 15000 AGL waiver window on launch days from 9am to 2pm. - Jerry 2003 |
