| Information For The Javelin |
| The Javelin was introduced in the 1965 Centuri catalog. It became one of their signature beginner kits and was included in at least two of their multi-kit outfits. In the same class as the Sky Hook by Estes, the Javelin was a minimum diameter kit with parachute recovery. The catalog says that a Centuri Javelin was tracked to over 1,800 Feet using a B8-6 Centuri motor. It was also noted that the nose cone could be replaced with a payload capsule to add payload carrying capabilities. The Javelin was Centuri #KC-31. The Semroc Javelin is updated by replacing the balsa sheet and fin patterns with precision laser-cut fins. The original balsa nose cone and body tube sizes are used. 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 The original method of attaching the shock cord has been replaced by a Kevlar cord for greater reliability. |
