Title: SLS Aero-Dart

Kit number: KV-6

Background Information brief: The Centuri Aero-Dart was introduced in the 1962 Catalog as the first member of the Centuri Large Scale Series. It was originally released as Centuri #KF-2 and was shipped via prepaid Parcel Post with instructions on how to order engines. The initial price was $6.95. The original Aero-Dart was 1.5” in diameter with parallelogram fins. It was released as a new design in 1965 with advanced fins and larger 1.75” diameter airframe. The new part " was KFS-9 and was priced at $12.95 and included three F11-3 Hercules port burning engines. The last version of the Aero-Dart was based on the ST-20 tube with a plastic nose cone.
The Retro-ReproTM SLS Aero-DartTM is based on the second version updated with precision laser-cut basswood fins and through-the-wall attachment. The original Aero-Dart had a wire shock cord mount which is replaced with an ejection baffle with Kev- lar® cord for greater reliability. A removable 24mm engine mount adapter is included. Several other removable 29mm mounts are offered as options to increase the selection of engines that can be used.

Announced in Semroc Minute 1, July 24,2006:

Looking forward to NARAM-48!
We are packing up for NARAM-48 now. I can't believe it is so close. We have been preparing for this since we got home from NARCON. Semroc is proud to again sponsor the Division A trophies for this NARAM.
Six New Kits
Finally, we have finished many of our kits that have been "in the works" for so long. Four of our new kits are the final members of the original Centuri Large Scale Series. They are the SLS Hustler, SLS Aero-Dart, SLS Explorer, and SLS Lil' Hustler. Since we found out that NARAM-48 would be held at the home of Centuri, we wanted to get all six of these classics back in the Phoenix skies again! We will be launching several other Centuri classics and hope you will join us with your Centuri classics if you are planning on attending this NARAM. We hope we can fly a lot of them on Sunday morning at the sport launch. The Taurus and the Point fill out our new line.
