Centuri went to the "newspaper" style catalog in 1977 I believe, the year I first got into model rocketry.
I agree that it made them seem like a FAR inferior company to Estes; they were on the downhill slide at that point; it was obvious that Damon was putting more $$$ into Estes and letting Centuri slide.
Centuri prior to that time had many products that were far more innovative than Estes such as the Large-Scale/Mini-Max line of kits/engines , the Enerjet line of kits/engines, tons of boost-gliders, 1/45 Little Joe II, a far superior Saturn V kit, etc.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
