Interesting.
"Also new from Centuri is the Warp 1, a two-stage model using the Centuri "passport" staging system. This sport model, designed by Larry Brown of the R & D department, will be ready for sale in early spring."
Discuss? Never heard of this one. Anyone?

You're welcome. I've got a soft spot for SAI kits. Bryant Thompson was our section advisor "back in the Day". I actually got to see and hold his record setting tempest Fugit! Mine didn't do so well, I painted it silver nad got a lost track.

Now to make things interesting, if you go to page 18 of the november 1970 issue, and chage the plans to 20mm tube for both sections, You get the vulcan, it was based on the candlestick, not the arcturus as quoted in the text.

i'm not sure from the picture but I think that ended up being the Marauder. It is certain the futuristic rocket never materialised.

Is there a copy of this available online? If there is, I haven't been smart enough to find it.

So I'm stupid. Right this moment I have the Ninfinger site open in another window, and I can't find a "november 1970" copy of anything.

Ahhh, the Tempest Fugit. What a wickedly fast and high flyer when built right. I had several of those, and learned real quick ,that a C6 would put it out of sight. That would still make a good PD duration model. Can you imagine that bird on an old D3? I have some left.....hmmm.
