Newbomb,

I agree completely. The BC-730P is a direct substitute for Centuri's original PNC-76.

Would appreciate anything you can provide!
Bill,

I looked through my old printouts, but there wasn't anything else listed for the Lance Corporal than what little is still on the old Semroc site.

However, I think we can approximate the L-C nonetheless.

I recommend adding two ST-730s (one for the payload section, the other for the booster stage). You'll need a BTC-7 connector for the payload section, and an HTC-7B (don't forget the "B!") for the first stage.

(I also recommend substituting a single ST-790 for the original Lancer's ST-760 and ST-730 tubes. It'll save you the original internal HTC-7 connector.)

Attaching the first stage to the sustainer could be tricky, though. I recommend taking a look at Centuri's Black Widow to see how it was done on that model.

Granted, the B-W first stage body tube was 4" long instead of 3", but at least that's a start.

Please note the excerpt from my current documentation project below. Thanks!
