ST- 7 for the trailer fin tubes.



What I was stating was the first use of the *ST-13* tube by Estes, not the first ever use of a Centuri tube. But, it is a good trivia question to know the first ever use of Centuri tubing in any Estes kit. I knew the shuttle used the ST-20, but did not realize it also used the ST-8 and -7. Thanks for the info!
