Yeah, I forgot about those. But with Semroc's excellent track record, I have no doubt that we WILL see those kits...someday. (Have faith, Jay and Craig, have faith...)

Shooting the breeze at NARAM or another launch is NOT the same thing as making an official product announcement!

By the way, I know that Carl put a "Tip Jar" on the Visitor page for JimZ, but I'm confused - did JimZ design the Visitor, or does he just host the plans at his website? And, either way, does his website have the plan? I haven't been able to find it there.

I'm not worried. And Carl knows if he ever needs another new design or two, there's at least a hundred he can choose from that can be easily kitted where that one came from!

Tell me about it... LOL I (and Carl) have discovered that to talk about a rocket before it's ready to go into the bag can be a bad idea unless you like a dozen threads spread across a half dozen forums, not to mention a ton of email, all asking about the rumored kits... LOL

I'm still fielding questions about kits I talked about a few years ago that never made it into production for one reason or another...

Just wait till you see what's on the drawing board NOW for release before the end of the year (God willing and the creek don't rise...)

I'm not worried, either. Just seeing from the outside how hard Carl, Sheryl, and Bruce work... Boy, I'm amazed at all the stuff they *are* able to pull off!

(chuckling) And for the folks who say, "I don't need any instructions, just send me the parts..." ...Well, that's probably *not* what you *really* want, after all.

And like Craig, I've got some designs that Jim Pierson accused me of "keeping for myself" (to possibly be released at Some Other Time).


Cheers,

Mark,

From what I recall of that Semroc Christmas newsletter mentioned earlier, Jim Zalewski designed the Visitor, and Carl offered to give Jim the proceeds from a good portion of the kits so that all of us who had benefited from the JimZ website could make a contribution directly to him.

[At least, that's how my fuzzy middle-aged brain recalls it. ]


Cheers,

A-ha! Yes, it's all coming back to me now...

I wish I could clear my mental cache as easily as I clear the cache on my computer.

Either that, or some industrial-strength mental floss... (I might be moving to Montana, soon...)
