If you ever need any questions answered I will be more than willing to try and help out.

Giant Leap and I were never able to come to terms. It got very close, but the deal was never sealed. I stil have a very good relation with Kent however, not so much with Ed.

I am glad that you like the CompositeRockets site, that hole thing came out of my love for composites also, I needed to find a way to share what I had learned.

This place is another coolthing that Darrel has come up, you can tell he loves the hobby.

How is the custom building business coming?
