Default Centuri T Bird KC-9 Parts list?

Does anyone have the list of BT type and sizes, NC type, payload section measurements, etc. I have the instructions and fins patterns, but the rest???? Again, one of those
ebay purchases with just "bits and peices" left over from the T-Bird kit.
Thank you in advance.

Ron

Ron-

Let us know if you need more info than that listed on the Semroc site and the plans you already have. Note that at some point in the early 70's (73, 74 maybe) Centuri shortened the clear plastic payload tube from the original 3.5 inches down to 2.5 inches. Same on the Payloader II.

Of course, finding some of that tubing may be the hardest part of this clone. I'll soon be starting a vintage build of this kit myself from an original kit. Now, if we can just get a good booster engine for it! And, a larger field than I currently use to fly it from!

This kit lends itself to converting the 1st stage to 24mm. The D12-0 and especially the forthcoming C11-0 are good replacements for the OOP B14-0.
