this is a very nice well designed kit. Its an Estes Cosmic explorer however its is identical to the Centuri "Centurion". Stands at 24" tall, features a 2 piece Bt -55 tube that has to be coupled together to form the main body. Standard 18mm engine power. Thru the body fins construction and 18" chute recovery. Estimated altitude is around 650-700ft on C6-7. I may grab another one as this rocket is a great candidate for a Estes E/D engine mount which would make for a beast Im sure....

The old Centuri Centurion used ST-16 instead of the ST-13 that would have been used if this was a simple redo of the Centurion using Estes parts. The Cosmic Explorer is like a Centurion that went on a diet.

Aside from the
body tube size,
nose cone shape,
over-all fin shape,
over-all dimensions
and
total decal design
- they are indeed "identical".;)

Thanks for the link.
I did refer to it and they all say pretty much the same thing that...

It' seems most feel that the Comet has more in common than the Centurion does to the Cosmic Explorer.

I bet if you put an unpainted CE next to a unpainted Centurion, no one would agree that they appear similar.
