    This portion of the r.m.r FAQ is maintained by Wolfram v.Kiparski.
    If you notice any errors, inconsistencies, or ommissions, kindly email 
    Wolf, at wolf@netheaven.com so that it can be corrected.

---------------------------------------
2.2  What are the addresses of some the rocketry manufacturers and suppliers?
     Do they offer catalogs?

	Here is a list of rocketry manufacturers and suppliers. The list is divided
	into a number of catagories. Each address appears only once, but may in fact
	qualify to fit into more than one category. The rocketry industry is rather
	dyanamic, so if this list is six months old, it may be out of date. The
	editor(s) of this FAQ can't verify if the companies are, or are not in
	business, although we've made efforts to contact all of them.  If you notice
	any errors, inconsistencies, misinformation, or omissions, kindly email,
	Wolf, at wolf@netheaven.com, so that correction can be applied.

2.2.5 Miscellaneous suppliers

     For those of you who like to buy their tubing, balsa, and other materials
     in bulk, this section may have the supplier that you are looking for. 
     Also included are suppliers of the kind of goods that many of us find
     useful for model and high power rocketry.  While there are very many
     sources of materials from which one can build rockets, and there is no way that a
     list can completely cover this broad category.  Here is a list of
     companies that have been mentioned on r.m.r., or have been recommended to
     the author.  No company listed in this section is a rocketry specialty
     company.  Many of the companies in the preceding sections also sell "raw
     materials," so rocketry-related questions are best directed to them.
