Announcement of release in Semroc Minute 10, March 22, 2012: “New Kits... We have just released four more kits for the spring. The Bandit has been in the works for some time. The internal baffle or ejection ducting system is one of the most elaborate engineering designs from the early days. Most of the "beauty" of this kit is hidden inside, but the baffling system works great! The Blue Bird ZeroTM is one of Mike Dorffler's classic designs from the 80's. It has been cloned, upscaled and downscaled over the years, proving it has stood the test of time. We have released it as MagnumTM so it flies on a wide range of engines (18mm and 24mm) on all sizes of fields. The NomadTM is a much requested Centuri kit. We changed the fiber fins to balsa and basswood to make it more rugged. The original had aluminum foil bands that are not included with this kit. As a final step, it made it too easy to mess it up. If you insist on the aluminum foil bands and swear to Sheryl that you can apply them without having to start over, tell her in the notes and she will include the bands while we still have them. Starship Series... We have just released the Starship VegaTM as the first Starship entry. Over the coming months we will release the Starship ExcaliburTM and the Starship CorreyTM We are starting a competition within the SAM Team to design the fourth model in the Series, the Starship _____ (the winner will fill in the blank.) Only SAM members can enter their designs, but everyone will be able to vote on the winning design and purchase the final release. SAM Team If you are a SAM member and are not registered on YORF, please register so you can get the latest updates! We will be posting another contest shortly as well as details for the Starship Design Contest. If you are not a SAM, you need to see what else you are missing. Thanks for your support of Semroc. We owe our continued success to you and we sincerely appreciate all your help. / The Semroc Crew/ Sheryl, Lisa, Bruce, Carl, Gizmo, Beans, Abby, Sami and Scooter” Last edited by 5x7 : 04-06-2023 at 09:02 PM. |

Trivia: Semroc, FlisKits, Estes, and Custom had kits named "Nomad" in production at about the same time.
