Title: Hydra VII

Kit number: KV-29

Background Information brief:The Semroc Hydra VIITM was designed in 1969 as the seventh Semroc Kit. Designed to be a high performance large cluster payload rocket, the Hydra VIITM was the most complex kit Semroc introduced. Named after a multi-headed monster in Greek mythology, the Hydra was a monster of a rocket with seven C engines! Construction was much more challenging than most other model rockets of the time. Igniting all seven engines was a major accomplishment, but rewarding flights were still possible. In small fields, a singe C engine provided a great low altitude demonstration flight. The Hydra VIITM was stock number KB-7 and retailed for $5.98 when it was first introduced.
The Retro-ReproTM Hydra VIITM is updated by using laser-cut balsa fins and a Kevlar® shock cord attachment. The original paper augmenter shroud has been replaced by a much sturdier spiral tube. The original balsa nose cones and body tubes are still used. The original two 12” parachutes have been increased to three to give more options for different flight profiles.
