NCR History

Hi, I'm Matt Steele, and I am very proud to present North Coast Rocketry to you!

When you see a North Coast Rocketry model fly, you will encounter an absolute treat of sight, sound, and performance. Rocketry will never be the same!

North Coast Rocketry was founded in 1984 in northeast Ohio (America's North Coast) on the premise that rockets larger than Estes "D" types could be far more fun and interesting to build and fly.

Estes acquired the manufacturing rights to North Coast products from 1996-1999.

Now I've brought North Coast Rocketry back, free from sales goals, production deadlines, or corporate approvals. NCR now is just the models and accessories that I Like to build and fly, for me and my closest friends....like you!

I'm an accomplished designer, having produced models for Estes (Big Daddy), Quest (Planet Probe), HobbyLab (SR-71 Blackbird), as well as most of the older NCR designs.

Sylvia Bursztyn dies at 62; created Sunday crossword puzzles for the L.A. Times

Sylvia Bursztyn, who parlayed her playful spirit and love of language into a 30-year career of creating devilishly clever Sunday crossword puzzles for the Los Angeles Times, has died. She was 62.

Bursztyn was found dead at her Granada Hills home on Dec. 30. The Los Angeles County coroner ruled her death was from natural causes.

Bursztyn collaborated with her puzzle partner Barry Tunick on The Times’ word game from April 1980 until his death in 2007, then continued on her own. Their Puzzler first appeared in the Book Review, then moved to the Sunday magazine and finally landed in Sunday Calendar. Her last puzzle will appear this Sunday.

Despite their long working relationship, Bursztyn and Tunick rarely met face to face. She would construct the grid and fill in the words according to the theme she had conceived, then send the game to Tunick, a high school English teacher from Culver City who would write the corresponding clues. They were known for their clever wordplay featuring puns and anagrams.
