Text of release announcement 5/30/2007:
(Found on site):
“This rocket has been added to the Semroc homepage, plus the OSO!
Tom C.”

Text from site:The Semroc Retro-Repro Oso™ is based on a popular model released by Flight Systems, Inc. in 1967. It features an improved ejection baffle that reduces the need for recovery wadding. The Oso™ has a large payload section and improved 18mm engine mount. The Semroc Oso™ is over two feet tall. Featuring laser-cut fins and rings, the Oso™ is easily built by beginners. The Semroc Oso™ is available online for $17.50 and at a growing number of hobby stores.

Thanks!!

The OSO was my first FSI kit.

The original had plywood fins and a hardwood nose cone with a hole drilled up the center.

I recall flying it on D6 motors. Eventually a F100-0|C6-7 "tandem" motor.

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 !

An old and much traveled FSI OSO kit in my collection. A lot of military and civilian moves.
