What is your favorite in-production Semroc kit?
I sure like the Texas Firefly a lot. The staging system is very simple yet elegant and it is a ton of fun to launch. I have built around 15 of the current Semroc kits, ranging from the Triton to te Arcas, and they all rock for various reasons, but I enjoyed the Texas Firefly the most.
I sure wish there was a "D" impulse SLS version! -- Mike SAM #68 PS - I just noticed that general Semroc threads are supposed to be in the regular forums, so if a mod could move this thread that would be cool. |

Survey says...
Well, nobody else is gonna do it, so here goes :
http://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts...ts.asp?SKU=KN-2 --But only for now. The recurring comment I get is that it's not big enough. (I mean, c'mon! I designed the original *six whole years* ago. Almost. ) These days, I have to agree. However, I'm not able to remedy that just now, since I have some other things (Real Life, for example) looming on my plate... Er, horizon. I could vote for some others, but (mock heavy sigh) they're not available just yet. Hey, I just got this catalog to order parts to build something called an Interociter...

My favorite ---- the retro-repo of the Centuri Javelin, which was my first model rocket.

Mars Lander and Saturn 1B tied for first.
SLS Hustler and SLS Aero Dart tied for third.

Probably the Space Shuttle. It is an enjoyable build and the three elements all come down at about the same rate...

Right now for me, 98 of their kits are tied for first place. From time to time I have to make room at the top for new additions...
Seriously, answering this question is hard! So is identifying my second-favorite Semroc kit.

So far, my Hydra 7 is my favorite, but I still have so many unbuilt Semroc kits to get to...
