Thanks, that is a much better scan.
I still have my unbuilt Semroc SLS Aero-Dart. I might keep that in the bag as a "pay for a kidney transplant" kit. (Not on its own, mind you.)
I'd love to know how many "Large Scale" kits Centuri sold trhough the years. The fact that you had to pay through the nose for shipping big motors likely limited their wide appeal.

P.S. My first Aero-Dart clone (below) was made using the Aerotech 1.88" tube. Just a fraction of an inch wider than the old ST-175 Centuri tube. I turned the balsa parts, and used BMS (I think?) to make the balsa centering rings.
If anyone wants to clone the kit, that might be the way to go. Perhaps someone can get some cones and bulkheads turned.
