I have had need lately to look up 3 different centuri kits body tube info with very difficult to zero success . Currently I am trying to ascertain which tubes were used in the ss america 5310


The Semroc USS America is a retro repro, a close reproduction of the original Centuri kit. The Semroc kit uses 24mm motors as opposed to the originals' 18mm motor tube. Unfortunately the links to the Centuri plans for that kit on the JimZ website are not working, but I was able to get the Centuri parts list from an archived page on the JimZ plans site from a few years ago:

Love the Wayback Machine! Here's a tip (you might already know, if so, ignore): At the bottom of the JimZ plans if there is a picture of a compass, caliper, and ruler, that is the link to the parts list.

If you are looking for the retro repro, erockets still sells the Semroc kit. If you are looking to CLONE the original Centuri kit, then you can get all the parts from erockets as well. They sell the Centuri ST tubes and even the ramjet cones and nozzles:

Sirius also sells the ramjet cones/nozzles, but they are currently out of stock.Would be nice if someone like Mr Brohm could compile a list for Centuri kits similar to the one he compiled for the Estes kits, but that would be another monumental undertaking. As a cloner I'm just thankful for the Estes compilation. Cheers.
