Mini

A Downscale Tribute to the Centuri Classic


Make two prints - one on 24 lb. stock, another on 110 lb. stock
The Body Wrap (24 lb) goes around a 5” long BT-5 tube.
The Fins are triple ply - The 110 lb. cardstock print folds at the dotted
line (score and fold) then glues over cereal box cardboard. This fold is
the rounded leading edge of the fin.
When dry, cut through all three layers on the outside of the smaller fin
half marked “Root Edge”. The back side is larger to insure color
coverage when cut out.
The Semroc BNC-5W nose cone is closest to scale, add a nose weight
washer under the screw eye. You could also use the (shorter) “Quark”
style plastic nose cone. Fill it 2/3 full with clay weight.
For reference, see the original Centuri instructions at:
