Semroc preferences
 
For kits, I'd like to see the SLS Aero Dart, Centuron, and Centurion F.
For parts, naturally I'd love to see all of the old Semroc parts offered. I'd also like to see parts to scratch-build rockets that use the new Estes F motors. Cloning parts are welcome as well; I once bought some fins that allowed me to clone the Flight Systems Inc. Competitor rocket.
Best wishes to erockets. I hope that Semroc is rewarding and profitable. Kudos to Sheryl for finding an outstanding company to buy Semroc.

Kickstarter
 
We do not plan on using kickstarter to help finance kits. Capital is not an issue with eRockets and Semroc. Time and talent is the issue at this point.

respectfully,

Randy Boadway

Great updates, Randy!

I wish you every success in your venture. Once your parts operation is up and running and selling, I've already got some projects I'll need your fiddly bits for!

That's a good position to be in!

I'm already thinking of projects to indulge in, once the parts larder is restocked.

I'll go with everybody else here - parts!

With parts and kit instructions to download, we can make our own kits until you get fully up to speed.

Do not feel the need to meet the McLawhorn standard of shipping before the order is placed. We do not need you burning out.

Long term, I would like to see you complete a couple of Carl's visions: a fully operational nose cone designer and Semroc motors.

Best wishes to you, Randy.

If you're the sentimental type, you might consider your first release/s to be whatever Semroc released first. A homage to the heritage of a company based on homage and heritage, if you will.

Anyway, personally, I'd love to have a LJII, a Mars Lander, and a S1B to build (my "Carl" S1B will forever stay in the box).

A return of all of the parts including fins and decals. The SLS kits were great too.

I know some of the first kits they produced were the SLS Jaguar and SLS Scorpion based on the old Centuri Mini-Max kits.
Not sure why those were chosen by Semroc in the beginning, but they sure hooked me.

My SLS Scorpion drifted away last summer, after a marvelous flight on a F10. I'll need to replace it!

I have parts and decals for at least two Jaguars, for a total of four! I might devote one to use with a F15-8.

WOW ! An F10 in a Scorpion !
The bravest I have been is an E9 with the huge 500 acre field I used to have in my back yard.
