| Information For The Arcon |
| The Centuri Arcon was first released in the 1962 catalog as a 1/8 scale model. This early version used the ST-7 body tube and was 16" tall. This model was the Centuri #KB-2 with a price of 1.50( imagine that!!) and was sold from 1962 through 1964. In 1965, the Arcon was changed to a 1/6 scale model based on the ST-10 body tube and was released as Centuri #KC-1 at a price of 2.25. This repro kit is based on the later version. In 1971, the balsa nose cone was changed to plastic and the same year the Arcon was discontinued. the Arcon was a popular entry level semi-scale model. The repro Arcon is updated with precision laser-cut fins. The dimensions of the KC-1 version are maintained with a balsa nose cone. The original rubber shock cord is replaced with an elastic cord for longer life. The original method of attaching the shock cord has been replaced by a Kevlar cord for greater reliability. A motor hook is also added for ease of changing the motor. |
