Title: SLS Lil’ Hustler

Kit number: KV-57

Background Information brief: The Centuri Lil’ Hustler Carrier Rocket was intro*duced in the 1967 Catalog as one of the last two members of the Centuri Large Scale Series. It was a 3/4 scale model of the Hustler. It originally shipped with 3 Mini-Max PB F10-4 engines. It was originally released incorrectly as Centuri #KF-10 (later corrected to #KF-8) and was shipped via Rail*way Express since it included engines that could not be shipped Parcel Post. The initial price was $12.95 including engines. In 1969 it was offered as a kit only with part # KF-8a for $9.50 and included Parcel Post shipping. The Retro-Repro SLS Lil’ Hustler is updated with precision laser-cut basswood fins instead of the hard balsa pre-printed fins used on the original. The Sil-Ray cloth fin reinforcement is replaced by a slot*ted tube and through-the-wall fins. The original Lil’ Hustler had a wire shock cord mount which is re*placed with Kevlar® cord for greater reliability. A removable 24 mm engine mount adapter is in*cluded 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.

Better kit pictures and parts laid out.

Let me look and see if I still have one.
If I do, it's sealed and unbuilt so I won't open.
Maybe can take a pic.
Give me a couple days.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

I have an unused decal at home. I'll post it when I get home today.
