SPRING VALLEY, New York USA — The first impression is the most important impression. This is true in dating, in job hunting and in rocketry too. The first impression opens or closes doors to possible subsequent experiences. If the first impression about a product is negative, there will be an uphill battle to convince the customer to give it a second chance.
The first impressions about rocketry are made upon products commonly known as "starter sets". These starter sets have all the materials needed for 2-3 flights of one rocket. This is a great idea, especially when the prices of these sets are deeply discounted, relative to the sum of the retail prices of the individual components. The problem is that the quality of the rockets found is these starter sets is often terrible. The ground support equipment seems to be acceptable, but the rockets themselves are not. These ready-to-fly models look good from the outside but tend to self-destruct within a couple of flights. I can easily see how budding rocketeers might be disappointed by this experience and turn away towards another hobby with more self-respect. Heavenly Hobbies has looked at this problem long and hard. Luckily, they have found a way to improve the situation. Its name is USHUS™. USHUS is a top-of-the-line model rocket starter set that includes 2 rockets, launch pad, electric launch controller, etc. What sets USHUS apart from the crowd is that it gives you, the buyer, power to CHOOSE the rockets to be included in the set! You may choose from 16 different models, for up to 128 possible combinations. You may choose an entry-level model rocket, like an Estes Wizard™, together with an Edmonds CiCi Stage 2™ glider. Perhaps, a Quest K-2™ RTF model, paired with an Heavenly Hobbies Stratos-18 ELM™ would suit you better. It doesn't matter. Regardless of the choices the purchaser makes, the set remains cohesive. All the possible choices work with the other parts of the set. USHUS rounds out its offer with an industry-leading combination of 6 rocket engines, 2 launch rods (1/8" and 3/16"), cellulose wadding and stainless steel snap swivels. These are extras that increase your flexibility and that you would normally buy on an after-market basis. But more importantly, USHUS comes with its "bulletproof" extended warranty. This warranty covers you in the case your rocket gets destroyed while in use. For example, if your rocket breaks a fin upon landing, in a manner that is repairable, the warranty will not pay for the repairs. However, if your rocket lands on a street and is run over by a car, or if the parachute doesn't unfurl and the rocket smashes against the ground, Heavenly Hobbies will extend store credit for 75% of the market value of the model. This is on top of the manufacturer's warranty for defects! USHUS isn't cheap. At $79.99, it is about twice as expensive other popular starter sets. But it gives you more than twice the rockets, if you take quality and choice into consideration. It gives you no less than twice the engines, twice the rods, twice the…. I'm sure you get the picture. Moreover, it's the only starter set anywhere that comes with accident coverage included. So, all in all, USHUS comes with peace of mind, abundant value and a healthy dose of self-respect.
