I met Randy and the guys a few years ago - was in Dayton on business and went to a WSR club build night at eRockets. Randy gave me the nickel tour and was willing, on the spot, to gin up some centering rings I needed for a project. We talked about Semroc stuff, he can only keep the kits that sell in decent numbers in “production” - eRockets isn’t a factory, really, so production is very small scale, while doing everything else they do as a retailer/supplier.

It must be a fine line to walk, keeping kits in production based on someone else’s designs - which Semroc designs does Estes currently “own”? Do model rocket kit design copyrights expire? Hopefully there’s some kind of cooperation between eRockets and the current Estes leadership so Semroc can continue to reproduce classic Centuri and Estes kits at all.

As far as larger kits they did introduce their new “Pro” line - the 2.25” Arcas is on the site - with some more larger sized kits coming. Lately it looks like they’ve been working on the MMX powered mini kits, not my thing but interesting. And making improvements in the complex kits - new color decals and assembly fixtures for the Orbital Transport, assembly fixtures for the Andromeda, resin detail parts for the America...

Personally I’m hoping they shift some attention to the Dr Zooch kits - ant scale rocks!
