This one's for Carl
One of the kits shown as being discontinued is the Aphelion. It's "just" a 3FNC, but it's a neat design and was (according to the info in the current - soon to be OOP - kit) the original Semroc's Alpha or Astro-1. ( http://www.erockets.biz/semroc-flyi...6-discontinued/)
I have one that I managed to get Carl to autograph at NSL in 2013. I built another to fly, and it took its 13th flight today (on a B6-4) as part of my New Years' Day flying. This is a cropped screen grab from the iPhone slow-mo video of that launch.
I'd pick up another one or two but I have five kits on hand (including #0016 from when Carl released it).
