WATERLOO, Ontario CAN -- Carde Systems has commissioned the long awaited, limited pre-production run of longitudinally molded 4" fiberglass rocket airframes. After years of design, fabrication and testing of this advanced airframe, the time had come to release a limited production airframe kit.
This airframe kit is 100% fiberglass with integrated nose cone, airframe, tail cone, motor mount, fins, fin fillets & bevels. The unique properties of molded fiberglass construction provides for a low cost, high strength, low weight airframe. This gives rise to unheard of levels of versatility illustrated by test flights over a wide impulse range inclusive of F through L, and corresponding altitudes of 200' to more than 10,000'. The light weight construction allows for mid-power flights, while the strength of fiberglass makes it ideal to be employed as the skin of an advanced composite construction airframe capable of extended transonic flight. The glass smooth exterior surface finishes with ease, and the molded construction allows quick assembly and flight.
This airframe is ideal for both sport flyers and performance builders employing advanced fiberglass construction techniques.
