Estes Kit and Catalog Trends

On his blog, Rich's Rockets - 
Rich Holmes did research into Estes kit and catalog trends.
Graphs show skill level changes and kit production over the years.
In this graph you can see the upswing of Skill level 1 kits (light blue) and the decline of Skill Level 5 offerings (purple at bottom).


It shows a big decline in kit production from about 1998 to 2007. During that time the catalogs were rather thin.
It's interesting and worth a visit to his blog. Thanks for all the hard work, Rich!
