Title: Snipe Hunter

Kit number: KV-51

Background Information brief: The Centuri Snipe Hunter was released in the 1967 catalog as a see-thru plastic payload single stage rocket with parachute recovery. The Snipe Hunter was flown at the First International Model Rocket Championships in Czechoslovakia. Over the years, the Snipe Hunter design changed several times. The earliest version had a BC-80 balsa nose cone, migrating to a PNC-80 when the plastic nose cones were released. Later models used the PNC-89 which was over twice as long as the original nose cone. The Snipe Hunter was Centuri #KB-13 and was introduced with a price of $1.95.
The Snipe Hunter is updated by using laser-cut fins. The original balsa nose cone and body tube sizes are used. The original rubber shock cord is replaced with an elastic cord for longer life. The original method of slitting the body tube to an- chor the shock cord has been replaced by a Kevlar® cord for greater reliability.
