We ordered balsa in 2x2 and 4x4 32" long "sticks" for cones. Each one was weighted and we had a certain spread that we used. Some were too light, some too heavy and we had to send them back. The lighter they were, the harder it was to get a smooth finish. We did the same for the balsa and...

I can't say enough about how much I appreciate Randy and the Semroc group for keeping the name alive. I know Carl would feel the same way. I once heard him say, "the only thing you leave in this world is your name, so don't abuse it". Guess that could be said for company names also. Thank you...

We never had to change a name. Estes lost all rights to the names when Barry Tunick (some of you might remember the story) did not renew the names of all his kits. They did own the instructions so they stopped a few companies from copying their instructions and sending them along with the kits...

Thank you Bill. It is not known but any memorabilia from Semroc that was in the basement where we had most everything is now gone. Had a basement fire and all was destroyed before Thanksgiving. God was watching over me as I had just pulled the generator 1/2 full of gas in the back door in the...

Bill, I used the Arcas as my level 1. Didn't know I was going to try for Level 1 but apparently Carl had it all planned and I built it on the field during a NARAM. I lost track of it but luckily there were several gentlemen that kept track of it and returned it, undamaged.

Carl had several parts cut for the USS Andromeda (rings and fins) that I remember. We were always running out of them. So glad Randy is bring the kit into production, I know it will be popular.

What a wonderful tribute. Really doesn't matter about the time that has passed, you still remember that special friendship you had with him. Looking forward to seeing a picture.

We didn't produce many of the SLS kits at a time because they were not great sellers. Of course, after announcing the closing here in NC, we sold out in a matter of days.

Hope you have clear skies, no winds. Sheryl

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Oh my, If I still had Semroc, I'd have to send you another one after you tried so hard to repair it each time.

r12ski, you are absolutely right about protection laws. Carl made sure he had all the names of as many Estes and Centuri kits that were OOP whether it was in kit or fin form. As many of you know, Barry Tunic dropped the ball when he didn't renew the names of all the kits they had. If Randy has...

Bob, we never did the kit for the Nike Ram but we probably had most of the parts for it. Not sure if Randy has kept up with the parts selection we had. Sheryl PS: Not too sure about this format.

But just think guys, when you have a beautifully finished Orbital Transport, you can puff out your chest and say "it didn't just snap together". Sheryl

You're off to a good start. I hope you and your son will fly rockets together in a few years. Sheryl

Congratulations HandsomeRob. Job well done! Sheryl

"discovered that it's not too hard to get them to look like plastic." K'Tesh, only if you know what you are doing and you definitely do!!!

Looks really good! Well done K'Tesh. So glad you're a part of the new Semroc. Sheryl
