LASER X
Gotta hand it to Carl and Sheryl over there at Semroc Astronautics. They obtain the rights
to interesting and beloved kits that have gone out of production and bring
em' back.. Semroc reproduces the kits with detailed instructions, quality
components and really reasonable prices. Feast your eyes on the stunning
Laser X. Originally produced in 1968 by the Centuri company the Laser X
stands 21.5" tall and weighs in at 1.8 ounces. It has two body tube
sizes joined by a shroud transition. The fins are laser cut for precision,
the recovery system has been improved from the original model using kevlar
cords and the decals were amazingly strong making them nicely maneuverable
during application. Laser X took it's first flights on December 24, 2004
going about 150 feet on an A83 motor and then about 450 feet on a B64. Both
flights were perfect. The Laser X can reach an altitude of 750 feet on a
C engine and returns to earth's surly bonds on a 12" parachute.
