The Centuri Argus was an A.T.R.F. (Almost Ready To Fly) model that used the molded one-piece plastic fin can from the Enerjet 1340 model. This fin unit was revolutionary. Strong and flexible with a launch lug molded between two of the four fins. The Argus was produced from 1973 - 1981.
The Centuri Phoenix Bird and later Estes kits used this fin can. Two that come to mind are the Maniac and Eliminator.

Jay Goemmer ("Centuri Guy" on the forums) has put together a great listing of Centuri kit parts. This includes nose cones and body tube lengths for almost all the Centuri line. To see the list: CLICK HERE
This gave me the correct sizes and lengths of the older Centuri ST tubing, nose cone and adapters for the Argus.
Nose cones and body tubes were ordered from erockets.biz, currently the only source for Centuri diameter tubes.
