I actually have one of thes....in Tote #21.
When I get a chance I will dig it out and see about scanning it in.

I paid $54 for mine in 2002.

Whoa! I haven't heard from you in quite awhile, Don. Nice to see you're still around.

Yes, please do scan it for us when you have a chance.

I have been lurking for the past few years.....

I found the kit, it is really an Estes design with a Centuri label on it. The claim to fame it has is that this was probably one of the last (maybe the last) Centuri kits.

I will try to get it scanned in sometime this week.

This is very good news indeed.
I just hope Carl takes a look at this thread. I would hope that he will find time to make these parts for this kit available . Laser cut fins would be nice. Hint hint.
And another hole filled in the YORPlans.

I just sent Scott the plans.

If anyone wants me to send the files to them, just ask. The total Email size was about 2 Meg; I have some issues with the scanning oftware that I have.

I did write on the Instruction sheet parts list that the main body tube is 11 inches long; it is a BT-50P which is not listed in the Estes 1974 parts catalog. The fins are 3/32 inch thick.

Note that all the parts used were Estes standard parts; at this point in time, any new Centuri kit was Centuri in name only.

Default Centuri Python Nosecone

I thougt I recalled a somewhat recent thread about this kit....

Don't know if anyone currently needs this, but saw it listed on ebay and thought I'd post it here. It's not listed such that it would easily pop up in a typical search for this nosecone/kit.

It's in France of all places, so not sure what shipping might be on it (didn't check).

Anyway....FYI
