Mfg. Description: This new Centuri kit, designed for the advanced model rocketeer, demonstrates the method for reaching extreme altitudes through the staging of engines. The simplified stage coupling technique results in reliable separation of stages.

As each stage engine is expended and falls away, the next stage engine ignites and takes over. The final stage climbs to well over 2,000 feet, then returns by parachute, ready for another flight. (Centuri 1964 Catalog)
