Semroc Sky Hook Kit

Excellent reproduction of a classic 60's Estes kit. It's almost like going back in time to build my favorite design from yesterday.

How do I love thee?

Posted by Bill Eichelberger on 18th Oct 2019

This was one of my very first purchases back in the early days of the Semroc revival. I liked it so much that I'm on my third one. A great small field performer on an A8 and likely a fire and forget on a C.

Good basic rocket

Posted by Loyal Customer on 14th Jun 2018

The oiriginal skyhook was the first rocket I built way back when. It's a good beginners model with realtively easy fins and the addition of a chute isn't a really complex item. Instructions seemed straight forward and clear even for someone who hadn't built anything else. Don't know if I'll paint it the same grungy red as I did the original but I'm sure I'll enjoy flying it
