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.

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.
