An idea is born...

While attending the XPRS II launch, three friends were standing in line at the facilities trying to act nonchalant. To pass what seemed like an eternity, we were discussing just what we would like to do with the people seemingly taking forever. As the discussion turned to just how BIG a motor it would take, a germ of an idea took shape. Could we make a crapper fly? The search was on! We located a company that produces the real articles and had a model for a marketing-sized unit. We ordered samples while the playa was still irritating our bodily orifices. They arrived and we started planning just what it would take. From those samples two prototypes were created to test the idea (And both of them still exist and are flyable. Mostly.) Lo' and behold they flew and were an instant crowd pleaser. Since then we have sold hundreds of "Lil Johnny Rockets" in a number of countries. You may have seen one in a field near you.

 

Since Then:

We have developed several unique products for the hobby community. From our HotWire ejection canisters to our unique arming switches we strive to provide products that fill the needs of the flyer. Stop by often to check on new products and other bits of timely news, plus whatever else we can think up. Remember, if we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be research!
