About Us

The California Arrow is a 6.35:1 scale model of the Canadian Arrow which is in turn based on the legendary V2.

For the basic airframe of our version we will be using a heavily modified 10 inch diameter V2 kit from our friend Andy Woerner at Polecat Aerospace.

We will need to lengthen the stock rocket kit to 102 inches and convert the nose cone into a functional upper stage. The speed brakes and rearward firing parachute system will also need to be designed and added to the booster.

The major airframe parts have arrived!!! This is going to be one big rocket.
