Can't wait to see Alien and Sub Zero kits again........

Hello
Let me introduce myself my name is Jim Horstrup and I have been in and out of the rocket hobby most of my life. Many years ago, I was very lucky to meet the former  owner of leaving edge rocketry Tim Ziegenbein. Tim was not only a great mentor but an even better friend. I was also very fortunate to be able to work for Tim assembling kits and cutting parts for the business so when the opportunity to acquire the company presented itself I jumped on it. My wife and I are now in the process of acquiring the equipment necessary to produce the exceptional quality kits that you have come to trust. In addition to some new designs that we hope to be producing soon a number of the old favorites will still be available. 
I look forward to working with you in the coming months please stay tuned for more updates

In the vast desert of Eastern Oregon, the Leibowitz family and their fellow rocketry enthusiasts gather to launch their creations into the sky. It’s a celebration of curiosity, teamwork and a bit of playful chaos.
