The thread teasing the initial release of the first 10 Ready-to-Build kits on 7/27/2010:https://www.oldrocketforum.com/show...=Mini#post96588

Announcement from Semroc Minute 7 email 7/27/2010:
We have just released our first ten Ready-to-Build™ kits in time for NARAM-52. These have been in the works for some time and incorporate many ideas and suggestions that have come to us over a fifty year span. I know you are thinking that all model rockets are ready to build. We have been asked many times if we offer ready-to-fly or almost-ready-to-fly kits and we have to respond that we are not large enough to do those, BUT all of ours are ready-to-BUILD. This new series is really ready to build.
They all have through-the-wall laser cut balsa fins to fit precision laser-slotted body tubes cut on our new automatic laser cutter. They all have a "new" insulating inner sleeve to protect the external body tube, elastic cord, and parachute from the hot flames and gases from modern delay and ejection charges. The elastic cord on all the models is increased to 36" for better protection from nose cone "smiley's"

The line starts with the new Start™ based on an early design by Bill Simon. Another of Bill's designs formed the inspiration for the Sky Hook II™. From Semroc's early days, the Aphelion™ and XK-23™ are upgraded to RTB technology. Three of Centuri's Large Scale designs have been downsized for ABC engine simplicity and economy.
They are the Mini Hustler™, Mini Aero-Dart™ and Mini Explorer™. One of Gene Street's most popular designs has been downsized to the Cherokee-C™. Two of Mike Dorffler's designs have also been downsized for the line.
The huge Optima has inspired the Mini Optima™ and the Omega carrier rocket has been downsized to the Mini Omega™ with a scale (non-functional!) version of the Cineroc.

Hi I am looking for:


Decal scan (600 dpi color PDF)

Thanks for the help!

The Decal scan is 300 dpi, not 600.

Two that I never picked up but wished I did were the Mini Aero Dart and Mini Hustler.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, AGITATION, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, AGGRAVATION, INSTIGATION, NUISANCE-ACTION, and HAVOC !

I only have parts to help clone the Mini Hustler but I have three Mini Aero Dart kits.....

My flyer Mini Hustler has been one of my workhorse models for comparative altimeter testing over the years.

I picked up a Mini Aero-Dart from a guy at TRF. Now I'm just trying to get the nerve up to build it.
