Just want to toot my own horn here. :D

The fins for the Semroc Egg Crate came from an original fin that I sent to Carl so he could get exact measurements.

Boy, I sure miss Carl... :(

Thanks for adding all these posts over the past two days for the numerous Semroc kits !GH,

I blame Gary (BARGeezer). He PM'ed me and said, "Hey, I've got all this SEMROC stuff. How do I add it to the Semroc Builders Resource?"

And the rest... is hysteria. (Or something like it.)

You're welcome! I hope it helps!

And if any of the rest of you want to contribute to this archive, please let me know! Thanks! :D

I've always found it interesting that the Centuri Egg Crate was cataloged for just a single year, 1971, apparently first available in 1970. I wonder if it was built more commonly as a 2- or 3-engine cluster. Meanwhile, the Estes Scrambler (clear payload, supeirior?) was in the early years of its 8 year run. The (Centuri) Egg Crate was a cardboard, paper transition and balsa NC payload system at a time when Centuri/Enerjet was developing the robust plastic egg capsule - which never did appear in a Centuri-branded model. The capsule came and went with Enerjet (same model name of course) and did not reappear for Estes until 1988.
