Yep, you're good. Just makin' sure you got all you needed.

The only thing I don't think he listed or showed was the 32" x 1.5" long 'burgandy' colored crepe paper streamer (yep, burgandy, not 'red' like the typical Centuri streamer color....maybe that was the color on hand at the time).

Boy, you just can't beat the strength of those Centuri #7 tubes from that time frame...they're hard to even squeeze between two fingers. And with those thick-walled injection molded #7 nosecones of that era as well, I'd think the ol' Lancer there could come in balastic from quite some altitude and not do too much damage.

Dandy little -multi-folded 'Model Rocket Mini Manual' that came in the box too that REALLY dates these 'Stellar' kits: it lists the address for the old 'Model Rocketry' magazine! (in Boston, Mass.), which I guess was out of business by some time the next year (1972 maybe?), after these kits were kitted sometime in '71 (Lancer instructions give an August, 1971 copyright date).
