| Information For The SLS 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. The Javelin was Centuri #KC-31. Semroc introduced a full scale Javelin in 2003. The SLS (Semroc-Large-Scale) Javelin is a 175% upscale of the original Centuri kit. Using SLS parts a precise upscale is possible using much more rugged parts than the original sized Javelin. The SLS Javelin uses precision laser-cut basswood fins instead of balsa for additional strength. An 18" Nylon chute is used instead of the original poly plastic. The body tube is laser slotted to match the through the wall (TTW) fins. The original Javelin had a rubber shock cord and is replaced with Kevlar cord and elastic cord for greater strength and reliability. A 24mm motor mount adapter is included to increase the selection of engines that can be used. |
