Open letter to Jerry Irvine:

Dear Jerry,
I have purchased and paid for one of your rockets
a few months ago, yet you seem unable to deliver
it or answer my email regarding the rocket. Is
your company actually making deliveries?

Yet another unsatisified customer of U.S Rockets.
Oh and if you are wondering about the order:
INVOICE 08-Jul-00 08:05 PM Order Number: 517


Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
Before you buy.

Its totally amazing..with all the posts in this group concerning mr
scam ripoff Irvine, that folks still actually send him money for vapor
ware........I would rather throw my money on the lottery, as the odds
of winning is much greater than getting a product from Scam Man
Irvine........As for his replies on email its hard to answer email
when you have to wait your turn at the public library or Kinkos to use
the computer.....Come on Jerry Scma Man Irvine, make a liar out of me,
bet you can't do it dude! Prove me wrong, just this one time! And
folks ask why I continually bash this idiot and hound him on here all
the time....just so if 1 person gets to save his money its worth
it......

If you ordered by mail, file Mail Fraud complaint with the
Postal Service. You will need your canceled check, the proper form
& after you file, hopefully the authorities will cut him a new @ hole.

Or so he claims. However, he continually tells people that they can
"trust USR" to deliver on any orders placed and that he will prove all
the people who claim otherwise wrong.

Jerry's messages concerning USR continually contradict themselves, as
well, leading many to be skeptical as to whether or not someone other
than Jerry owns the company.

of igniter do you use for vaporware propellants?)

I have heard they are reliable dealers and have a huge selection.

Alex,

Have you been hiding under a ROCK for 2+ years.
Have you not seen all the bad stuff about Irvine.
NO ONE sends $$$$$ to Irvine unless you like the feel of it
sliding in, without the benefit of KY jelly. 8-)

US Rockets does not really exist, except in the mind of Jerry Irvine.

Buy great kits from the reputable dealers on the net. If performance has
US rocket kits, I suggest you check the kit out before purchase, as
some people have reported that the quality is not very good.

Bill and Darrell,

Being a pretty regular reader of RMR I've seen this phantom rocket come
up from time to time, but I don't understand the story behind it. Can
you give me a rundown on what happened (or what didn't happen)? All I
know is there was some kind of gift certificate or contest or something
and Jerry was supposed to send out a rocket. Evidently the rocket never
made it but was Jerry compensated for the thing initially? I hate to see
a dealer or kitter or rocketeer being strung up for any reason here on
rmr. If we have the bandwidth for drivel like "OT: Shameless Political
Plea" then I'm sure we can make some room for this one.

It did exist in the time frame you mention above. I have lots of E - F - G
motors left, no 18 mm G's though (some 24 mm G's). I was on a net 30 days
payment so I never lost any money. Some motors worked well, some worked
poorly, and some just cato'd. Most of the smaller (model rocket size) motors
were ones that worked but were weak or had erratic delays.

I have read most of the posts about this and have NEVER seen it proved that
Jerry is the owner again.I ,myself,think that he is.This doesn't make it so.
You stated that he does own it again,enlighten us all with the facts please.
You came up with a really good Jerry type post when asked a simple
question.Dodge the facts and put up a smoke screen.
Are you really Jerry with a different screen name??

And it goes like this:

Jerry owes Darrell $xx for services rendered (advertising). Bill wants
to take Jerry up on his offer, and buy a USR rocket, and do a product
review. Darrell says; "Hey Jerry, why don't you send me the rocket,
which is worth $xx, and I'll send it to Bill. That way, I'll accept the
rocket as payment for past services (advertising) Bill gets a rocket,
and you get an honest product roview."

And we haven't heard from Jerry since.

My guess? Jerry is out buying some LOC BT's, Smokin Rockets nose cones,
PML CPR systems, RocketMan chutes, and Skunkworks fins to compile enough
parts to send to Darrell and call them a USR kit. It gets a rave
review, Jerry gets orders for 50 more of same, then he ships all those
carpet rolls, paneling fins and paper chutes he's got in his basement to
another round of unsuspecting customers.

Hokay,

I think I get it. Evidently Jerry is dragging his feet because he
doesn't feel Darrell's bill was justified or he somehow got ripped off.
If he sends it to Darrell he's acknowledging the fact that Darrell was
actually owed money and was right all along - or that he (Jerry) was
wrong. And rather than do that he chooses to experience the pain and
suffering of a public lambaste.

Yeesh, so much for the saying "there's no such thing as bad publicity."
I wonder if "Retreat!" or "Cut your losses" or "You get more flies with
honey than vinegar" is in the Jerry Irvine lexicon?

Is he really buying fins from youse guys?

Well, Bob, Since I'm no longer co-owner of the AB Skunkworks you'll
have to talk to Jerry. I lost my stock in the company when Jerry sued
us and won the case. Seems as though he invented skunks and we were
using the name without his expressed approval. <grin> (not actually
the truth but real funny to some)

No, not really. But if he was going to "compile" a bunch of parts and
call it a USR kit to try and impress everyone, he'd benefit from using
some of Tom Allen's fins. Tom has made some composite fins that are as
stiff as slate and smooth as glass.

Only one problem... deja search only goes back to May '99 these days.

From what I've seen so far, the "decline of US Rockets from actual
supplier to flaky vaporware" occurred well before that, so saying
"go do a search on deja" is not a useful alternative to posting an
answer to someone's question.

(Deja is not what it used to be - evidently the web interface/archive
for usenet is now considered just a burdensome sideline to this whole
"product rating" operation. One notes that its slogan has changed from
"share what you know, learn what you don't" to "before you buy".)

Hi Dave,

I'm sorry ... I can't help myself ...

To fire vaporware propellants, use VaporStar, VaporMan, or Vaporlite igniters.
They'll vaporize any thoughts or misgivings you had about the vaporware
propellants.

Thats about the same reusluts you get using rolled up $20.00 bills to
light the same...........vaporware motors and rockets.......only using
the $20.00 bill is more satisfying as you can actually feel it and
see it, when it goes up in smoke........have yet to see any of the
motors light off or the rockets go, that vapor....its so amazing. Only
thing I seen that was faster....and that was Jerry cashing a check he
receives from unsuspecting vapor ware buyers.

I don't know and could give a sh!t about the history o' Jerry, but he
was onsite at LDRS at Hartsel in 97 and was selling motors, I seem to
remember only 1 failure. I think he was demoing them prior to them
being certified, this is probably wrong and I'm sure he'll correct me
if so, Just posted to tell you at one time he did have an actual
product to sell and was selling it.

I am not going to respond to all the rubbish posted to this thread, almost

Anybody who wants to purchase USR products can do so on bill on delivery
which is BETTER than COD or credit card. It is invoice. You do not even
need to disclose your payment particulars till you have received the goods
in good condition.

The folks who post drivel here either have not ordered, or have ordered
and misstated what they received because it was their sole purpose to
disparage USR from the start. I cite foxeye an a perfect example of that.

The vast majority of people who have ordered from USR from rmr are HAPPY.
Plenty of people received AIR-5 Boosted Dart reports and ordered other
books. Many people received a BFF kit caled Fire and Forget, over a
hundred IIRC.

There may be examples of imperfection but none of them are less than 8
years old and verifiable, and in the rare instance there is a pending
transaction in the past 30-60 days it either is with notice of the buyer
or with a refund of any monies paid in advance refunded while they wait.

If there EVER are any legitimate exceptions to that, PLEASE email me at
01ro...@gte.net, or if you INSIST on dealing with the new owners use

I hope to be employed by USR for many years to come no matter who owns
it. Great company, good products.

That's not true. I posted it will be sent when the nose cone is done.
It's not done yet. However I STILL wonder why Darrell (or his agent) will
still not accept any in-stock products and insist ONLY on custom made to
order items. With stated long delays.

Probably to keep up the noise level.

It's working.

If true, email in...@usrockets.com and state if it is a prepaid order or
not. If prepaid it will be immediately refunded.

The company changed hands on about that date so your order may have been
lost in the transfer.

Gee, maybe because that's not the kit they WANT? If I had a voucher
good for some amount of dollars I could use at a vendor, you can bet I'd
use it on what I WANTED, not necessarily what they had in stock at that
point in time.

Ever thought about arranging to ship everything but the nosecone, and
providing a date on which the nosecone would ship?

Other than the Changed hands bit, thats about as close to being a
canned reply , that is when you do reply, when questioned on status of
orders..I presume this innocent purchaser, is going to have to wait
for someone to refund the money for him, like Debbie had
to.........Jerry, You are so full of hot air and bull$hit,. its a
wonder you don;t go floating off into the outer reaches of space..Once
a scum bag always a scum bag, especially with all the times you have
had and opportunites presented for you to redeem, yea, redeem your
character, morales, and integrity in this newsgroup. Your just a
pathetic liar, and con artist, that is really to lazy to help himself,
and just ploys on others to support you, with taking the money and
sending no goods.

Send the man his money, without his having to prove this and that,
unlesss it will keep you from paying your dumpster rental home place
you call a business, we sure would not like to see you go homeless.

Lets see how long it takes good old Jerry Irvine to send this refund
and how many hoops he is going to have to jump through to get
it.......go on Jerry, make me a liar, I dare you dude! Make a big liar
out of me in front of all these rmr folks, go on!

My 2 cents worth!

Truth of the matter is Jerry has not picked up enough of aluminum cans
along the highways and in the dumpsters to pay for a nose cone
yet.......and the local carpet store just has not thrown any tube's
away for awhile.

And since he lives in California, where strict building codes are
enforced, its hard to find cheap assed paneling in construction site
dumpsters anymore......

defaulted on his obligation and you picked up the slack.........it was
right after we had a big confrontation with mr Irvine on a live forum,
as to the T shirts, and then he had supposedly offered prizes for a
deal that he renegged on.IIRC it was something on RocketryOnline.I
guess you just have to join the ranks of the many that are owed by this

Um, Jerry? Hello? He wrote the open letter in hopes of getting a
response. It says above, "unable to deliver it or answer my email". He
has resorted to an open letter after two months of patience and attempts
at contact.

I would not say your offending anyone, not even Jerry, as he is just
to darn ignorant to be offended, or he would not do the stupid $hit he
does by screwing with peoples $$$$$. Its just that to really get the
jist of Jerry Irvine and all the negativity, it would take many many
looooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg posts, to even attempt
to cover it all......Its been like a soap.....always a new twist,
always a new ficticious player popping in and out, and only the theme
remains the same........moneys paid, goods not delivered.......

I wonder if Hollywoood might like to make a story on the life and
times of Jerry Irvine in RMR, or perhaps, Something along the lines
of The Simpsons, would be more to the truth.......Jerry sort of
reminds me of Homer..........S T U P I D! and don't have a clue, and
to ignorant to recognize the fact he is a looser at what he is
pursuing..

I sure hope they are not charging storage or by the hour in producing
this nose cone, I just can't wait to see it when its done ;-) Ought to
be one of a kind....but most stuff if any is one of a kind with Irvine

Jerry,
Heres your chance to redeem yourself! I just ordered a Stinger Two kit
from the USR site. SKU#1006 Order #593 on 28 oct 00 01:24 PM.
How long before i get a confirmation call? Will it be shipped COD? What
will be the time frame that I can reasonably expect delivery? Will the
kit be as advertised?
This order will be chronicled here on RMR. If all goes well, You da Man,
If not, well i guess we knew that already.
I really want the rocket. A two stage with the features you purport for
49.95 is a steal. If all is well, and as you claim, I'll post your
laureates, but don't anyone out there hold your breath.

woody4828,
Did you ever wonder about the close resemblance between Frank Kosdons'
TRULY RELOADABLE MOTORS and Irvines TRULY RECYCLEABLE MOTOR lines? the
design similarities (and rip-offs) are TRULY AMAZING!! Remember, he
(Irvine) was in with kosdon ( at least until his TRUEly colors were
revealed) and then, miraculously, Irvine is gonna set the rocket world
on its collective ear with the introduction of his TRM system at
USRockets. I'd bet that the propellant formulae are TRULY SIMILAR as
well!!!

If anyne is interested, I have a box of old US Rockets catalogs and a few
press kits. If someone was looking for a "Memento" of their Irvine
experience one of these might do the trick. Price negotiable. :)

Hey David, they were real; I bought a 4" Stub rocket from R/C Country in
Sacramento before I ever heard of Jerry Irvine.

Nope. I never wondered, never cared, AT and Frank's stuff has always
worked well and I have never had the urge to test whether USR would
deliver as promised, My only reason to post was to respond that he
(Irvine) at one time had motors to deliver, no judgements or
speculation on my part, merely an observation.

The minority of people willing to chime in with actual experiences is
interesting so they are bot subjected to harassment for weeks.

But this post alone proves Foxeye's post that USR does not exist is another LIE.

One of many.

Makes the soap opera continue and gives him something to do with his
pathetic life.

Hey Foxeye, I don't appreciate being called a sucker. You may have a beef
with Jerry, but lay off me or I'll just write you off as just another
asshole.

If you read my post you would see that I bought this rocket from R/C
Country, a hobby shop in Sacramento. I had never even heard of Jerry Irvine
at the time and had no reason to not buy the rocket as it was right there in
front of me in a Hobby Shop that I respect and have done business with in
the past. Even you should be able to understand that R/C Country is not
affiliated with Jerry Irvine, nor am I. If you read my post as supporting
Jerry, you are mistaken.

Jerry, why do you choose to ignore the posts about the 6" Big Bertha kit
you promised? Or the two winners of the ROL 100k contest?

Foxeye,

I can't say I blame you for being ticked at Jerry, but geez! What would
you be like if someone ripped you off for something worth more than a
t-shirt?? I would hate to know.

I thought I should mention that kids do come into rmr alot, and I don't
think your rants and raves are always exactly appropriately worded. The
one below is pretty mild compared to others we have all seen.

Whoa boy, is that ever not the case. Foxeye was one of Jerry's biggest
supporters. One of the "give Jerry a chance" types. And then the "inevitable"
happened, in that case the T-shirt mess.

Foxeye was so PO-ed at being not only screwed by the $ but I assume more so
being DUPED into supporting Jerry all along that he has become Irvine's biggest
online enemy.

Spo, yes, Foxeye was warned but he didn't listen. Now HE is the one doing the
warnings, lest others be duped the same. He might go at it a bit overboard at
times, but that's in part because he got duped so badly and because Irvine is
such a slippery eel. Heck you almost need a translation book to interpret
"Irvinespeak" from many of Jerry's messages.

>Hey Jerry, just because I bought a U.S. Rockets rocket from R/C
Country over a year ago doesn't mean that you aren't ripping people
off. Had I known your reputation when I purchased the rocket, I doubt
that I would have bought it. As it is, I am able to divorce myself
from the thought that you ever touched the rocket in kit form and can
still enjoy flying it from time to time.

My mention of having bought a kit was only a courtesy to David
Weinshenker, whose question had yet to be answered.
