Gus,Thanks for posting the pictures of the Centuri LAI-50. I bought my first rockets and gear from Centuri in 1967. My much used LAI-50 was in a wooden telescope box stolen out of a friend's storage unit back in 1995. Also in the box was my Mantis launcher, bunch of Apogee Blackshaft tubing, launch rods, and other gear.
The attached picture was from Winter 1967 in a field near my house in Central Ohio. Own designed model from the Centuri parts assortment. Chas I also have a LIA-77 that I stained brown. Don't recall if I have the blast deflector anymore.

Yeah, it does say a LOT.
I'm for individual freedom to choose what one wants to do themselves without constant intrusive gubmint bans on virtually anything.

Glad you liked it. I bought this one several years ago on Ebay. I grew up in Phoenix so most of what I had was Centuri. After my LIA-50 wore out I replaced it with a wood board with a hole drilled in the middle to hold the launch rod. I punched a hole in a piece of asbestos and slid it down over the launch rod. Worked great and it was easy to strap to the rack on the back of my Schwinn. |
