From the Semroc homepage: "New Releases at NSL2007!" "The Semroc Oso™ and Semroc VF-261™ will be released at NSL 2007. A limited number of each will be available at Muncie this weekend and online shipping will begin June 4, 2007." WHOAA! "The Semroc Retro-Repro Oso™ is based on a popular model released by Flight Systems, Inc. in 1967. It features an improved ejection baffle that reduces the need for recovery wadding. The Oso™ has a large payload section and improved 18mm engine mount. The Semroc Oso™ is over two feet tall. Featuring laser-cut fins and rings, the Oso™ is easily built by beginners. The Semroc Oso™ is available online for $17.50 and at a growing number of hobby stores. " YESSS!!! BRILLIANT!!! WOO-HOOO!!! [FIST-PUMP IN AIR][FIST-PUMP IN AIR] "The Semroc VF-261™ is a flying model based on an early drawing from 1961 by Vern Estes that was inspired by a screen still from the movie, Destination Moon produced in 1950. The VF-261™ looks like many of the fantasy rockets before space flight became a reality. The VF-261™ uses a pre-drilled balsa nose cone and pre-drilled balsa tail cone. It uses laser-cut balsa fins for ease of construction. The Semroc VF-261™ is available online for $18.50 and at a growing number of hobby shops. " SO, SO, SO COOL!! I'm not familiar with the Vern Estes drawing, of course, but I have seen recreations of the Luna spaceship from Destination: Moon. I have always thought that it would make a great kit, and wondered why no one had ever tried to produce one. I had even been thinking of scratch-building one myself, and had recently started feeding my piggy a little each week so that I could eventually buy The Spaceship Handbook and get the design. But now I can have a Luna right away. Talk about your instant gratification! Is this a great time to be a BAR, or what? Mark

New Semroc kits at NSL 2007
Let's see, now. By my count, the (officially announced) Semroc Astronautics Corporation model kit number count is now up to 51. I have just one word for that:
Wow! Mark P.S.: Way to go, guys! Bravo! <sounds of cheering> <standing ovation> <confetti> <balloons>

Oso
Carl, glad to see you got the FSI OSO kit available! One change I would make on it (just a
suggestion) is to offer the kit "E" capable (Estes E9) with an adapter for 18 mm flights. That's what I'm going to do to my vintage FSI OSO that got 75% destroyed late last year when I used one of my F7-6 for the NAR OOP motor testing program. Keep up the great work!!

Ok, so I guess I have seen it before, on that site - just didn't make the connection. What a great inspiration for a kit. BTW, when are we going to see that TZ kit? Mark

... and then you have to factor in the shipping time on top of that! Hmmm, is it too early to put in my order, then? Mark P.S.: But wait, I haven't gotten all of the current Semroc kits yet.
