There are currently 24 Semroc kits available from eRockets, including a couple new designs, the updated with assembly fixtures USS Andromeda and the new line of MMX kits. Between eRockets big move to a new location, the pandemic and Randy’s health problems I’m surprised they have as much available as they do. Recently there was a discussion online with the ONE guy who cuts ALL the balsa for eRockets’ Semroc kits - he said the balsa supply is just now allowing him to get caught up. Though it’s been nearly 4 years since my visit to eRockets (the old location was barely adequate - the move was much needed) Randy and his folks are as great a group as you’d like to meet - solid rocketry guys through and through. I did a Build Night there with the WSR NAR club - a total hoot! (I’ve launched with them recently too). I already know none of what I’ve said will matter but if the options are the Semroc name and designs are sold to someone who carries on with what he can within economic reason or the name and designs cease to exist - which is pretty much what the possible outcomes were when Carl retired - I’ll take the former over the latter.
