Saturn 1B with 2 motor cluster
I remember a kit from my youth, and I'm wondering which company/model it was.
I picked it up about 1981 on the clearance table at the Cape Kennedy gift shop. [I was there again last month - no model rockets to be found :-( ] My memory is that it came in a cardboard box - blue white and black?. Vacuum form fins and shrouds. A bit over 2 feet tall. (I was 11 - it was a long time ago). The build was a -lot- like the Centuri instructions posted to YORP- but I distinctly recall that it was a 2 motor cluster with C6s recommended. I recall a flight where one motor started late and the model ended up in cruise missile mode. And a second flight where I got antsy and flew on Bs - really low. So any ideas what kit it might have been?

Maybe. I mis-typed in my original post. I had been looking at the Estes #2048 in the YORP collection.
The JimZ KS-10 page is broken - can't get more details.

Digging around with google turns up some pics that look familiar. Looks like GG has some pics of a boxed Centuri #2139 that look to be it. So yes - some year's production of the KS-10.
Thanks

Yes, it's the Centuri 1/100 scale Saturn 1-B. Great model to have.

Alas, mine was lost somewhere in my parent's house during my college years. Hasn't resurfaced in the past twenty years

I grabbed the plans while it was still up and converted to a pdf. I cloned this except I went with a single 24 mm motor. The build thread is here . |

Ditto David - Thanks for posting the Saturn 1B instructions.
It is interesting how Centuri included contact cement in the kit. I used contact cement years ago and was surprised how quickly the dried glue adhered. You only got one try with that stuff!
