NOBODY, and I mean even Estes and Centuri during the golden era, beats Semroc at quality or customer service. They are truly the gold standard that other companies should measure themselves against. Carl, Sheryl, and Bruce set the bar very high, and we are fortunate to benefit from it.

Indeed. Any company at all.

Can't doubt the sincerity of that post.

Placed Semroc order Thursday, December 19th.

Order shipped Friday, December 20th.

Order delivered by USPS Monday, December 23, 7:45 AM!

Wow! Semroc can even get the post office to deliver an order before lunchtime in my area!

I'm adding on to this thread so as not to clutter up the forums with a new one.

I'm on to building my original Estes Saturn 1b again. I'm gluing the centering rings that go in front of the fuel tanks, on the stuffer tube, and in the forward parachute tube. The alighment is crucial because this determines if the shroud fits correctly.

The original instructions aren't clear enough for my tastes, and I'd like to look at the Semroc version to get a "second opinion."

I did a search on the Semroc page, but I can't find the PDF instructions for the Saturn 1b. Does anyone have a trick for locating the profile page for an out-of-production kit?

Thanks!
