Title: SLS Laser-X

Kit number: KLV-33

Background Information brief: The Centuri Laser-X was initially released in 1968 in the American Rocketeer, but did not make it into the 1968 catalog released later in the year. It was the first in a series of kits incorporating all die-cut parts. Its large size and futuristic appearance made it a great rocket for small fields and demonstration launches. The Laser-X became one of Centuri’s most famous kits. The original had a BC-54 balsa nose cone, but later models were migrated to plastic nose cones. The Laser-X was Centuri #KC-50 and was introduced with a price of $2.75.
The SLS Laser-X is a 175% upscale of the original. It uses laser-cut basswood fins and through-wall construction in a thick-walled body tube. A scale balsa reducer and balsa nose cone are included for ease of construction. A full 24” Rip- stop® Nylon parachute is included along with 400 lb Kevlar® cord and a sturdy shock cord. Built tough for many flights. Several optional engine mounts are available for exciting flights with a wide variety of engines.

Too many people watching the web site. I can't ever sneak anything on there. The SLS Laser-X is ready! The extra mounts are ready also. This is one of my favorite kits. The three interchangeable mounts provide a lot of options. More later. Have to get the first orders to the post office!

And thanks for looking!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Semroc.”

I just saw this and have one of these kits unopened. Do you still need all 3 items? I think I also have the optional cluster motor kit for it too.
