I’ll plus that on the original Centuri kit. I built one about six years ago. Fun and challenging build. I can see this kit took some development time by Centuri and is not quite as simple of a kit as it might first appear.
Good job on your project there, Tim! Earl

Fortunately, I still have the one that I built, and I still fly it once in a while. Yes, the Centuri Flying Saucer was a great kit. I would like to see someone reissue it one day.

Estes did offer it a couple years after merging officially with Centuri in 1983. Think they kitted it somewhere around 1985 or 86.

Given that the templates have been posted here, you can also get embossing templates and clone a pretty close replica of it.

You are probably thinking of the plastic version. See ‘Flying Saucer’. http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...85/85est36.html |

Didn't realize that one was plastic.
Just thought it was the Centuri one with different decor. I only have the Centuri one. I have flown mine with regular non-booster engines such as the C6-7, B6-2, etc. It just blasts the ground a bit after landing and hops into the air a bit from the ejection charge. Don't do it if conditions are very dry, a grass fire could start. Flies best on the no-longer available C5-0S Centuri SuperC booster, but the C5-3 that has returned works just as well.

tbzep industries can easily manufacture the C5-0 or C5-P now that proper supplies are available.

tbzep-
I LIKE tbzep industries ! A B8-0 could also be created by removing the proper amount of propellant. Any relation to Drax Corporation or Zorin Industries ?
