Sorry that this has taken so long to compile, but things have been busy at work and I have had to unpack much of the materials from a recent move. Below is a list of model rocket and high power manufacturers and organizations that I am aware of as of February 8, 1989. I think this is reasonably complete but there are still some rocketry materials that I have yet to unpack. Some of the high power manufacturers will only send you a catalog if you pay the appropriate fees - their philosophy is "if you wouldn't pay catalog cost, you probably can afford their kits." I also suspect that this acts as screening effect to keep out the kids. Also listed are composite engine prices from 1987.
