I'd love to see that scan up on YORP !

I'm 95% sure I sent the decal to Bob back in '98 or so along with the tracing of one of my fins. I hope I got it back from him!

The Spaceman has already been released (in xKit from); I have one. Ditto for the Trident (I don't have one - yet.) The X-Ray was also previously released as an xKit. But maybe these will be full releases now?

  • The SST Shuttle-1 (hurray!) will be a re-release. A bring-back of a Retro-Repro!
  • An R-R of the RDC Feather? I want it, I want it!
  • U.S.S America? Ooooooo........
  • Competitor - 3rd "FSI" kit!
  • Deci-scale Nike-Tomahawk! Awesome!

That was our choice. To be a "major player" in this business, you have to sell your soul to Communist China. I never had the stomach for that, so we will continue to remain small.

We DO consider ourselves a "major player" with the friends that matter to us! There is more to life than money.

You're certainly a "major player" in our book!

In my book, Semroc, Carl and their entire team are THE major player when it comes to the model rocketry products I want.
The quality and variety of their kits as well as responsiveness to customer wants is second to NONE !!!!
