Semroc Saturn 1B/ LJ II for X-mas ????
I'm starting to wonder if we are going to see the Semroc Saturn 1B and Little Joe II kits in time for X-Mas. I know my wife is too, due to the fact that they are both at the TOP of my X-Mas list....I do not want to end up with non-rocketry related wife-thinks-I-Need items instead !
Anybody heard any "inside" info if these will make it in time for X-Mas ? Semroc always ships fast, but I think we may be getting down to the wire here. Carl; could you maybe give us an update, even if the news is not good ?

Enter "kit" in the site search - you'll see the Saturn 1B, Little Joe II, and Mars Lander as "coming soon" - along with the prices...
Save your sheckels, boys and girls. Carl is about to unleash some very neat stuff!

I want the sink. Suppose it flys on a (drain)-O motor? |

Based on the Cd of a Kitchen Sink I think it would take at LEAST an O motor to get it up to any sort of recoverable altitude.

Well,,, if someone wants to purchase the sink, and build it with a 4" (102 mm ) motor mount - I just happen to have an O2600 that I'd donate to the cause..... ~ AL |

Al,
Does the offer go for any kitchen sink, or just the Semroc one ? I happen to have a sink I'd be willing to donate just to see it fly on an "o" motor. I'd even be willing to slop (with a pound or so of J-B Weld) a 4" motor tube onto it too ! Recovery ? We dun't need no steeeeenkin' recovery !

Unfortunately I have not seen any updates to the Saturn 1B or LJ II on the Semroc site in quite a few days.
I should not have gotten my hopes up that this would be in the market before X-Mas, I guess. I'm really getting the sinking feeling that even if the Saturn 1B kit gets finished for sale before X-Mas as Carl originally targeted, there is no way it will arrive for X-Mas. Based on how much additioanl mail/shipping traffic that occurs during the week before X-Mas, I don't think it would arrive by Christmas Eve unless one could order it by 12-17-05. Anybody "in the know" have any additional info ??

I personally don't recall Carl saying this would, or could be ready by Christmas.

LTV Scout:
See the following quote from Carl here: http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/show...ght=mars+lander Parts will be coming online as they are received. Plans (subject to change) are for: KS-1 Saturn 1B 1/70 (based on Estes K-29) KS-2 Apollo Capsule 1/70 (based on Estes NCK-29) KS-3 Little Joe II 1/70 (based on Estes K-30) in time for Christmas. I was hoping maybe too much for this as a X-Mas gift from the wife.
