Mule, I just sent you a private message…

Basically, my experience with Curtis at Performance Rocketry is he doesn’t ship a damn thing until you’ve called him very irate at least twice and threatened to call the BBB and sue him. I once waited 6 months for a…   Read more»

Try Bob and Neil at Rockets Magazine/ Liberty launch Systems. They’ve been carrying alot of Performance products, mostly kits, but have a pretty good pulse response with Curtis. Just a thought.

I’m guessing the windmill was still in use for cattle…it did have a wagon wheel pattern of trails around it.Edward

Lets just hope they don’t replace that one windmill with a wind farm, that would just suck! Knocking on wood.Art
