Skill Level 1 The Aphelion is the fourth model in the new Ready-to-Build Series. It was released by Semroc in 1968 as our fourth production kit. It was included in our Beginner’s Special with a launch controller, launch pad and three engines. Although this model includes a slotted tube and through-the-wall fins, it is very close to the same external appearance as the original. Most of the model rockets over the years have been ready-to-build, as opposed to the simpler ready-to-fly or almost-ready-to-fly models, but Semroc has designed this line for the joy of building. Starting with laser-cut balsa fins and adding a through-the-wall tab to match the laser-cut precision tube slots makes fin construction a breeze. A laser-cut fiber fin template makes it simple to align the fins almost perfectly. The addition of an inner tube to insulate the outer tube from hot delay flames and ejection gases also keeps the extra long 36” elastic shock cord protected. The RTB series draws from many of the best ideas from the past fifty plus years of model rocketry. Made in the USA
