Default Swift

Title: Swift

Kit number: KV-24

Background Information brief: The Swift was introduced in 1968 as Semroc’s second kit. The Semroc Swift was an entry level kit modeled after the Estes Mark II and the Centuri Micron. It did offer parachute recovery instead of the streamer that was usually used on popular small kits. The earliest models were shipped with an A6-3 engine to use to space the thrust ring during assembly and later to use for the first flight. The live engine was later replaced with an empty engine casing so the kit could be shipped easier. The Swift was Semroc kit #KB-2 and was introduced for $1.29.
The Retro-ReproTM SwiftTM is updated by using laser-cut fins. The original balsa nose cone dimensions and body tube size are maintained. The original rubber shock cord is replaced with an elastic cord for longer life. The original method of gluing the rubber shock cord to the body tube with a paper shock cord mount has been replaced by a Kevlar® cord for greater reliability.

Designer: Carl McLawhorn
