I agree, always thought The Centuri mount was better than the Estes tri-told.
Centuri had to add an addendum to later kits telling you to reach inside with a fingertip or pencil eraser end and press down on the mount to re-adhere.
The mount didn't stay down over time.
The Centuri mount idea is similar to the older Stine "Shock Lock" mount. The shock lock lies flatter than the tri-fold mount.
