I got my numbered (#19) and signed kit from Scott Branche on Monday the 1st. I ordered it the night of Friday, July 29th. That's what I call fast service! Scott is obviously following in the shoes of Carl and crew over at Semroc in offering speedy service.

Regarding the kit, in one word, AWESOME! Being that I'm a collector, I may be forced to buy a second one from Scott, one to build.

If anyone is interested in this kit, they can check it out over at TRF. Look in the Vendor forum for his ad.

I built one of his kits as a beta tester. I plan to fly it NEKKID tomorrow at NARAM. (Assuming I don't get pulled over on the way there.)

I miss being SAM 0058

Build floor: Centuri Mini Dactyl Estes - Low Boom SST Semroc - Marauder, Shrike, SST Shuttle

In paint: Canaroc Starfighter Scorpion Estes F-22 Air Superiority Fighter, Multi-Roc, Solar Sailer II Semroc Cyber III

Ready to fly: Estes - Solar Sailer II Semroc - Earmark, Groonie Der V 1/2

I bought two just because I knew I'd have to put one away. Both numbers are so low that I'm hard pressed to build either one.... but I will.

You might get pulled over if YOU are going to be the one thats "NEKKID" not the rocket (you did not specify). I am glad you guys like the kit, but I want people to build it! I want to kit a couple more designs and I wanna hear about the good and bad points of this one so I can improve on the next one. Maybe I have to design some system where once the shipping box is opened, a CO2 cartridge inflates and pops open the kit bag. POW! (parts everywhere) "I might as well build it now..."

Let me know how the flight goes Bill!!!

Hehe. You could borrow the design that the CD3 uses in the HPR world.

Having Limited Edition (signed/numbered) kits will promote more sales. Collectors will want a Limited Edition kit for their colection, but will want to buy another to build.

I opened #7 last night *sniff*, and inventoried the parts and read the instructions. This kit is just too cool. I got to stay home today, so I'm hoping to get the fins and tubes filled so I can start assembly Friday night. Hey Scott, I really like the personal letter included in the instructions. I'm sure you nailed the feelings of 99% of us.

I guess it's not so much "more sales" that I want, rather enjoyment of the kit and the building process. Although, being an avid collector, I guess I can understand the enjoyment of collecting an unbuilt kit.

Oh, I also like that my title on this forum is "Junior Rocketeer". It makes me feel like I am in the 70s again.

Heh, you can change that in your profile setup if you want. That's just the default title for all new members.

I got my #27 today. There sure are a lot of parts in the bag.

This is going to be fun. I hope that my finishing skills can do it justice.

Oh well, nobody can see unfilled spirals 600 ft up anyways.
