Danny AlmondAKA: dannymrmissile Location: Norwood, NC Favorite Rockets: Scale, Camroc, D Birds, Biography: I have been into Rocketry for 48 years, or from 1967. I have kits in Vern Estes' and the Seattle MOF's Museums and many items/kits signed personally for me by Vern. I'm an authority on Vintage kits, mainly Estes, so any questions, I will love to help any one with. I'm disabled now with fibromyalgia, so I'm Very limited in my flying activities. I am Full of Ideas. I am building or rebuilding kits as I can-- all are ORIGINAL Estes kits, NOT Clones or scratch built. I have a wealth of parts, decals, etc. in my collection library. I deal in Original materials/Kits. I recently sold off a lot of my Rarest items like my 3 MMI kits/engines, and others for health issues. I've been there & done that, so I enjoy helping anyone and sharing the love of the hobby. I helped Eric Higgins at Vintageestesrockets.com to a good extent-(check it out!). Sorry-I'm not bragging, just giving a profile of my life long experience in the world of rocketry. I'd say I have flown some 10 thousand flights and have had many more kits that that. Once I had some 1200 Estes K Kits in my collection. I gave some of the early Companies like Bill Saindon @ BMS, Jim Z, etc., patterns to help start their businesses. Carl at SEMROC was a dear friend who I talked to late at nite on the phone. Vern sent me a 1st year MARK kit signed To me from the same production batch Jay Apt took up in the shuttle. So, I hope to hear from any of you who may wish to share or ask anything with me--this is what it's all about. I may be slow to reply as my health slows me down a lot. But my love of the hobby will never die. Like you---its in my Blood. Happy flying,,, Danny .
