Surprised the hell out of me ... I asked Randy During the Q&A “Any plans for any future SEMROC SLS kit releases? And he replied with a flat out NO, but we will have more of the PRO kit releases and brought out the Blue Bird Zero and the Orbital Transport! Those kits are HUGE

Thanks to Ed and all the folks at the NAR for the virtual Manufacturer's Forum. I think I've only met Gary at an LDRS, so it was great to "meet" the manufacturers. They showed off some really nice stuff.

That was a great session...

ASP is looking good.

Never heard of Eggtimer Rocketry, may have to plug in the soldering iron.

Estes is still kickin' butt.

E-Rockets-Semroc is planning new up-scales of a few classics.

New Way's Saturn IV... and the Steamliner. I hope they do that triangular tubed model.

Frank Burke's Red Max glider was neat, but his X-15 is just wonderful!

Many thanks to Ed LaCroix for running the show!

Bob
p.s. Gary Rosefield mentioned a new I-65 with ejection as opposed to plugged...

Really looking forward to the 3" Mega Der Red Max! IIRC, the release date for that is sometime next year?

Did Estes have a new mold made for a 3” DRM style nose cone? I can’t recall any past 3” rockets with that style cone - definitely can’t reuse the Big Daddy cone for a Red Max.

I missed the first couple of manufacturers. Is this going to be put online anywhere so that we can have a look?

Love this! I figured the MDRM wasn't going to show up again after the way the PSII thing schlitzed the bed, so this is a great idea. I think I'm at 20 Maxes right now. This will likely push me toward 30.

From Bill and Ellis' presentation, the 3 inch DRM was interesting, but the one they showed that got me going (and I'm not sure why) is the upscale Mars Snooper.

Glad to hear, also, that the new machine for E12s and the 29mm motors is done and that those motors will be back in the distribution pipeline again.

I had to listen to the first couple of presenters on my phone in the car as I was coming home from putting up a few virtual NARAM contest flights....
