Home > SLS Scorpion

The Centuri Scorpion Space Probe was introduced in the 1965 Catalog as a member of the Centuri Large Scale Series. It was shipped with 3 Atlas End Burning E impulse engines. It was originally released as Centuri #KF-6.

The SLS Scorpion is updated with precision laser-cut basswood fins instead of the hard balsa pre-printed fins used on the original. The original checkerboard Mylar parachute is replaced with a nylon chute. The Sil-Ray cloth fin reinforcement is replaced by a slotted tube and through-the-wall fins. The original Scorpion had a wire shock cord mount which is replaced with Kevlar® cord for greater reliability. A 24 mm engine mount adapter is included to increase the selection of engines that can be used.

The kit is a 29mm motor mount however a 24mm adapter is included in the kit along with an 18" nylon chute.
