Interesting. I have an Arcon Hi with the non-scale booster that's waiting to be built. The thought that I could just tape on a booster and have it look more scale-like never occurred to me even though I've seen all the fin-less boosters on other folks scale Aerobee's, Iris's and such like. I'll look into that. Thanks again for yet another great tip. |

This is from the ROTW 2000 supplement. I would strongly suggest that you get hold of the original publication and the supplements.

So some of them basically were the same color scheme as the ARCAS.

Good advice and thank you much for posting the spec diagrams. I wonder what the extra section and antennae were all about on the first rocket. Guess I'll just have to buy the books and maybe I'll find out. If I can make the time, there are photos of the Arcon in a personal collection in the Air & Space Museum's archives. They're in the process of moving to a new location and don't have photocopying capabilities at the moment. I'm sure they'd be of interest. |

You gotta love that cartoon bandage cross taping of the instrument leads on the sides of the rocket. Reminds me of the first time I realized that the "silver stripe" adjacent to the conduit on the WAC was actually duct tape...

question
I have an Arcas by Peter Alway. There are two signatures on the"face card". I cannot read them. One looks Pet Oz and the other Walu ? Any body have a clue?

IIRC G Harry worked on both the Arcon and the Asp which is why so much data is available on otherwise unnoteworthy rockets. Also their fins are big enough for a scale model rocket to be stable, unlike the Patriot.

Hm. I've poked around about as much as I can. Air & Space hasn't replied since about the time of my last post here. I have access to quite a bit of data, but some things are either not extensively documented or have sunk pretty deep. You have to know the person who knows where the bodies are buried. Any info you can point me to, on the Arcon would be appreciated.

I find this deeply amusing! Yes, my signature is that unintelligible. I don't actually write my name when I sign. I just *think* my name while scribbling! Petoz Walu |
