Centuri Akela-1
I remember seeing them on display in the Cub/Boy Scout section of a local department store.
I bought a box of 8 and built them all with different fin configurations.
...Which, of course, was the whole point of that design.
Doug Holverson once posted somewhere (maybe here?) a question to the effect of, "Wasn't the Akela-1 just a minimum diameter version of the Centuri Vector-V?"
I think my reaction was, " "
Cheers,

"I think about organizing things all the time. Never seems to happen. I find something that piques my interest and I'm off on a quest. Or a Centuri. "
