Skill Level 4

Moderately Challenging

Included in the Black Brant series of sounding rockets orig-

inally developed by the Canadian Government in combination

with Bristol Aerospace, the Black Brant VC is a 4-fin variant

of the fifth rocket in the series which first flew April 4th, 1970.

More than 100 flights of the single-stage VC have been com-

pleted since then, and modified versions have flown as upper

stages on a number of other Black Brant rockets. All together,

more than a thousand Black Brant rockets have been flown

with a success rate of over 98%. The combination of longevi-

ty, flexibility, and reliability have made the Black Brant family of

rockets some of the most popular sounding rockets in history.

As iconic as the Black Brant VC is however, it is also a

nearly ideal target for the entry-level scale modeler. As a solid

propellant, aerodynamically stabilized, sounding rocket, there

is no need for large nose weights or clear plastic ("cheater")

fins to make a model stable. Moreover, the surface details are

all fairly simple (in fact, many Black Brant flights used exclu-

sively internal antennas). Taken together, it is a perfect model

for those with an interest in scale modeling, but only minimal

experience.

This kit has been designed to allow for the creation of a

reasonably detailed sport-scale model straight out of the pack-

age. Nevertheless, the kit is an excellent canvas for additional

details, should the builder desire to add them. With balsa

wood fins and cardstock details, the rocket is built entirely of

materials that any rocket builder will have experience with and

the assembly techniques – while requiring care and patience

– are techniques that are used in lower skill level models. The

Black Brant VC is a perfect start to any exploration of scale

modeling. And with its reasonably small scale of 1:15 (or,

more precisely, 1:14.66), it flies exceptionally well on a wide

variety of readily available 18mm motors, so it is an economi-

cal rocket as well.
