Avro Arrow FFMs
Hello All,
I won't cross-post the entire posting, as it can be seen here (it's Reply #7 -- http://www.oldrocketforum.com/showt...6697#post166697 ), but YORF member "modeltrains" asked about the Canadian Avro Arrow interceptor. The aircraft has a rocketry connection (my reply to him contains links regarding this), as Nike-boosted scale models of it were launched at Wallops Island, Virginia and from a temporary Canadian range on the shore of Lake Ontario (there are projects to recover these models from Lake Ontario). These Nike-boosted Avro Arrow FFMs (Free Flight Models) would make interesting scale boost-gliders, and the aircraft itself (having a large delta wing) would make a good two-motor, rear-motor boost-glider in the style of the Estes Sky Dart boost-glider. I hope this information will be helpful.

Footage of those launches may be viewed in the movie which starred Dan Ackroyd.

What a wonderful idea! It's way beyond my capabilities to scratch build something of this complexity; but it would be so great to see someone pull it off. And if the resulting scale design ever made it into kit form under, oh, I don't know, maybe the Sunward brand... well, I can envision a number of them taking off to the clear blue skies over my part of the great white north.
