Black Brant IV-B-30 Hawaii - Rocketarium

Standing almost 120 cm tall, this scale replica of the Black Brant IV-B-30 is a large flying model rocket that can be flown using 24mm motors like D, E and some F. You can choose either Estes D and E, TSP D and E or Aerotech with its large selection of D, E and small F motors, reloadables and single-use.
While the real Black Brant IV-B was a two-stage rocket, this kit is a single-stage.

The Black Brant IVB-30 was launched at 0030 local time June 21 1973, at Kauai Hawaii, during the quiet solar and geomagnetic conditions carrying experiments for the detection of galactic and cosmic soft X-rays.

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.
