ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
|
The Canadian Arrow is a
two-stage liquid-fuel rocket designed for the burgeoning space tourist
industry. Based on WWII-era V-2 technology, but significantly enhanced
with modern materials and computerized control systems, the ship is designed
to take three people -- one pilot and two passengers -- on sub-orbital
flights to the edge of space. A former X-Prize contender from Canada's Planet Space, the Canadian Arrow promises to be a simple, economical and dependable option for tomorrow's amateur astronauts. Like all X-Prize contenders, the craft -- including its booster -- is designed to be reusable. For more information on this program, please visit www.blapmodels.com. |
BLAP!'s Canadian Arrow model consisted of a one-piece rocket and four graphite control vanes, making it an easy "build." The greatest challenge involved the painting of the "red maple leaf" pattern on the lower stage, a task facilitated by several paper "masks" included with the kit. Also included in the kit were a circle base (pictured) and a "modern milking stool" launch platform (not pictured). This model was built from an original release. |
