What is your favorite in-production Semroc kit?
I sure like the Texas Firefly a lot. The staging system is very simple yet elegant and it is a ton of fun to launch. I have built around 15 of the current Semroc kits, ranging from the Triton to te Arcas, and they all rock for various reasons, but I enjoyed the Texas Firefly the most.
I sure wish there was a "D" impulse SLS version! -- Mike SAM #68 PS - I just noticed that general Semroc threads are supposed to be in the regular forums, so if a mod could move this thread that would be cool. :) |
Survey says...
Well, nobody else is gonna do it, so here goes :o :
http://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts...ts.asp?SKU=KN-2 --But only for now. The recurring comment I get is that it's not big enough. (I mean, c'mon! I designed the original *six whole years* ago. Almost. ;) ) These days, I have to agree. However, I'm not able to remedy that just now, since I have some other things (Real Life, for example) looming on my plate... Er, horizon. I could vote for some others, but (mock heavy sigh) they're not available just yet. :eek: :rolleyes: Hey, I just got this catalog to order parts to build something called an Interociter... :chuckle: |
My favorite ---- the retro-repo of the Centuri Javelin, which was my first model rocket.
Wayne --- SAM# 19 |
Orion.

Aerobee-Hi with a mini-engine mount

Mars Lander and Saturn 1B tied for first.
SLS Hustler and SLS Aero Dart tied for third. |
Probably the Space Shuttle. It is an enjoyable build and the three elements all come down at about the same rate...

I was just reading the 1976 Centuri catalog page of the Space Shuttle. So, Semroc's kit still has is as it was back then with the 3 separate elements to chase? I HAVE to have one now!

All their stuff is great but I'd pick the Saturn 1B as my favorite.

Of the kits I've built, I most enjoyed building and flying the Hydra VII the most.
It's too bad that one ended up as a lawn dart :( I'll have to save up and build another one eventually. |
