Centuri Argus #KB-9, Build, Part 9, Finishing Up

The A, B, C, and D triangles fit on the lower adapter.
The straight sides were cut with a knife and straightedge, the curved bottom was cut with scissors. It took two re-draws to get the bottom curve correct.






TRIVIA: In the mid 1970s, Centuri kits had their silver coffin shaped shock cord mount. You laced a shock cord through three holes. While a great idea, those sticky backed mounts would release over time. In later instructions, Centuri would remind you to press the mount down with a pencil eraser before every launch.







I decided on another Centuri style shock cord mount. A shock cord is looped around a segment of tubing. This is glued in far enough to give room for the adapter shoulder.
