Centuri Micro Probe
I happen to have an original payload section (nose cone, clear tube and adapter) for this model. There doesn't seem to be any information anywhere about it though. Does anyone have a set of instructions and/or fin templates for it?

I have one. I just have not opened it yet because the 1.00"/1.04" plastic tube has been so hard to get!

Thought this woul dbe a good time to remind about the CVS branded candy cane containers I found last year.
excellent fit for the Semroc ST10 cones , just slightly tight fit. My own Payloader II is in the que Don;t think Carl wants to get a few hundred M&M filled candy canes, but if the source could be found ? or just ship the kits WITH the candy as an added bonus ~ AL |

I was just out shopping for replacement parts for our kitchen light fixture. Looks like the "new" fixtures are now using a T8 bulb instead of a T12. Sure, it saves 20% on the energy, but it also produces 20% less light, so you'd need 5 bulbs to equal 4 old ones :-(
At any rate, the new bulbs are 1" instead of 1.5", and they have new lexan sleeves to fit the new size. I didn't buy one yet, but wondered what size they were, and if they were close to any rocket tube size. The old ones are just a tad over BT-60, and with a couple wraps of tape 60 series nose cones and adapters fit fine. I use one of them to hold my Pencams. |

Yes, the old fluorescent light tube sleeve is the source for the payload section for an Apogoon.

I'm in the same boat as Kurt, I have a payload section, but little information on the booster and sustainer. The booster fins look like they are either the Centaur booster fins on an ST-7 tube or a down scaled version. If they are the same that would make the booster ST-7 tube 3.5 inches I would think. That might make the sustainer tube 6.5 inches.
I did find a photo of the instruction here on YORF in this thread: http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/showthread.php?t=1773 But it looks like the attempt to get scans in that thread fell through I would assume. Does anyone have either scans or tracings of the fin sets and lengths of the booster and sustainer tubes? I'd sure like to clone this one. Worst case I'll make the best guess I can if no one has the info, I can always re-clone it if I find out I'm wrong and reuse the payload section again. Many thanks if anyone can help!
