I want one of each, but I'll be building them, so no need for low #s.

My thoughts exactly. Whenever I get a low number kit, I think that maybe I should save it. But, that feeling passes in a couple of minutes and I can get to building.

The biggest problem I have is the fact that I have about 75 unbuilt kits and I probably buy 2 for every one I finish so the backlog is growing.

Coming up next:

SPEV - with BT-52 parts instead of BT-50 as originally planned (thanks John Brohn)
Defender - with all balsa transitions instead of the one paper one as original (thanks John Dyer)
Centurion - to match the original prototype (long balsa nose cone) instead of production (cheaper short plastic nose cone)

Hopefully, by NARCON...

This is only on SVDT thread, for now, until we get closer to having SOMETHING ready. The commemorative kit is the 50th Anniversary Mark II. It was 50 years ago that Orville Carlisle got G. Harry "hooked" on model rocketry with that rocket. Seems like only yesterday.

And... we now have the SVDT discount code activated for 30% discount to members. We were going to do 20% plus 10% for NAR members, but I think all but 2 SVDT members are also NAR members anyway.

Carl,

Defender - Oh how I love a good cluster kit! Never had an original but always thought that was such a unique design. Now I'll be able to own one. I'll be ordering a Defender kit as soon as these become available.

After reading the instructions for the original kit, your kit with the balsa transition instead of the paper one will make assembly so much easier for a paper shroud challenged guy like myself

Also, thanks for the SVDT and NAR members discounts! As others have already mentioned it's generous and very much appreciated! I'm sure I'll put the discounts to good use as I'm coming up on needing some more parts again soon as well.

Hey Carl,

Put me down for one each of numbered kits. If you're not doing numbered kits then I'll just order them when they're released. Thanks.

Just a quick reply. We are going back to the old method of the numbered kits (first come first serve). Carl will announce the kits to the SVDT a few hours before going public. As usual we are pushed for time-still waiting for the Centurion instructions. We were hoping to release them before NARCOM but they may not be shipped out until we get back.

Thank you all for your support of Semroc and your patience,

Sheryl

Sheryl,

Not to be (more of a) pain (than I normally am), but have you already marked down those of us on this thread or will be have to respond once they are announce? Some of us are leaving Thursday to drive to NARCON and will not be near a computer.

Just completed the #17 SLS Aero-Dart and the #14 SLS Explorer,

Thank you for all you do for the rocketry community.

Chas

Sheryl,
I just checked the Semroc website and I do not see the new kits there yet.

I bought two Defender kits earlier. No problems.
