Black Brant IV 1/10 - Rocketarium

Standing over 100 cm tall, the Rocketarium Black Brant IV is a large flying model rocket capable ofvery high altitudes on an F motor before returning back to Earth so it can be flown over and over again. Unlike most model rockets, the Black Brant IV contains an ejection baffle system which means that no recovery wadding is required for flight.

Original Black Brant IV was a two-stage rocket consisting of Black Brant V first stage with the Black Brant III second stage and was used by Canadian Space Agency and NASA. This kit is a single-stage model of Black Brant IV

As this rocket uses “D” or “E” type engines, you need a launch pad that accepts a 5 mm launch rod (available separately) to launch it, like the Estes Porta Pad “E” or the Aerotech Mantis, and an electric launch controller like the Estes “E” launch controller. If you plan to use only D engines you can also use the Estes Astron II Launch Controller, the Estes Electron Beam or the Klima Launch Controller.

To use Aerotech motors you need a 12 volt launch controller as the Aerotech Interlock Controller, or the Estes PS II Launch Controller. If you plan to use an F motor we strongly suggest to use a 6 mm launch rod with a large and stable pad like the Estes PS II or the Aerotech Mantis.
