Information For The SLS Jaguar
The Centuri Jaguar was first released in the 1967 catalog as a member of
the Centuri Large Scale Series. It was a minimum diameter 29mm design
that was shipped with 3 Mini-Max "EB" E7-8 motors. It was originally
released as Centuri #KF-6 and was shipped via express since it included
motors that could not be shipped parcel post. The release price was $7.95
including motors. In 1969 it was offered as a kit only as part #KF-6A for
$5.50 and included parcel post shipping.
The repro SLS (Semroc-Large-Scale) Jaguar is updated with precision laser
cut basswood fins instead of the hard balsa pre printed fins used on the
original. the original silk parachute is replaced with a nylon chute. The
Sil-Ray cloth fin reinforcement is replaced by a slotted tube and through
the wall fins (TTW). The original Jaguar had a wire shock cord mount which
is replaced with a Kevlar cord for greater reliability. A 24mm motor mount
adapter is included to increase the selection of engines that can be used.
