The Centuri Centurion was released in the 1970 American Rocketeer Volume 4 Number 1. It introduced the patented ejection baffle to eliminate recovery wadding. Slightly longer than the other "large" model rockets of the time, it was a great demo rocket. Slow liftoffs made the Centurion popular on small fields. The Centurion was designed with a longer nose cone that was changed at the last minute to accept one of the new plastic nose cones that were being released in 1970. The Centurion was introduced as Catalog #KC-2 for $3.00.
The Retro-Repro™ Centurion™ is a close replica of the early prototype model using a longer rounded ogive balsa nose cone. Most of the photos in Centuri sales literature and catalogs showed the longer nose cone instead of the shorter PNC-160 that was used in production. It also uses laser-cut balsa fins for ease of construction. The original 20" parachute is replaced with two 12" two-color chutes.
