Yes, they all have the Knightdale, NC address.

I am still looking for any of these with a Dayton Ohio address on the front and a date in the instructions of 2015 or later. If you bought from eRockets after the kit was discontinued but you got a facecard with a NC address I am interested to hear about it, because it might mean it was not re-released by eRockets.
KA-5 April Dancer
KA-4 Astro-Jr
KA-23 Astron
KA-19 Earmark
KV-67 Magnum Sprint
KA-21 Mini Aero-Dart
KA-28 Mini Centurion
KA-26 Mini Optima
KA-6 My Boid
KM-4 Omega Payload
KV-79 Sam 3
KLV-16 SLS Javelin
KA-3 Squire
KV-24 Swift
KA-13 Yung'un's Nuke

Thanks again for all previous help.

Speaking of Semroc...did the old semroc.com page finally die? That sucks as there was still some data there.

It is wonderful that eRockets has now posted many of their versions of the Semroc instructions. Their updates usually just consisted of updating the address to Ohio and adding their update date to the instructions, which Randy said indicates the eRockets release date. I am close to finishing compiling the re-release dates.

About 10 kits were never announced individually as released by erockets, but are likely included in the 121 kits eRockets said they re-released. The web archive indicates that Semroc or eRockets or both had stock of some kits at the time of the sale so they would not have needed to be re-kitted unless stock ran out. A bunch of the kits that were still available when Semroc was sold were never announced (on erockets Facebook) as being re-released, so my suspiction is even though the PDF has an eRockets date, it was not ever sold with an eRockets facecard.

KA-5 April Dancer -date on eRockets instructions- 12/12/15
KA-4 Astro-Jr -date on eRockets instructions-12/12/15
Confirmed KA-23 Astron - No Date but kit sold has Ohio address
KA-19 Earmark -date on eRockets instructions-None
KV-67 Magnum Sprint -date on eRockets instructions-7/22/15
KA-21 Mini Aero-Dart -date on eRockets instructions-1/1/17**
KA-28 Mini Centurion -date on eRockets instructions-1/1/17**
KA-26 Mini Optima -date on eRockets instructions-11/12/15
KM-4 Omega Payload* -no eRockets PDF
KV-79 Sam 3-No eRockets PDF
KLV-16 SLS Javelin -date on eRockets instructions-5/10/16
KA-3 Squire-No eRockets PDF
KV-24 Swift -date on eRockets instructions-3/2/16
KA-13 Yung'un's Nuke -date on eRockets instructions-4/27/17**

**The dates on these instructions are well after eRockets announced they had re-released all the Semroc kits- 121 of them. They announced on July 15, 2016 that the Saturn 1B was re-released, marking the 121st and final kit re-released.

So I think there is a good chance e-rockets did not have to re-kit the rockets above. Prove me wrong, does anyone have any of the kits above with an Ohio address?
