| Salute the Return To Flight of America’s Space Shuttle by building and launching your own Shuttle stack! This model flies straight and high and at the apogee of its climb it releases its orbiter, which glides safely to the ground while the booster descends gently beneath its own parachute while you stand below and proudly say, “Gee, that shuttle didn’t cost me 2.7 billion dollars.” The Space Shuttle stands ~10 inches tall and the orbiter is ~7 inches long- meaning that you will have to stand 274 feet behind the completed kit to have your picture taken with it and claim that you were standing by the real thing. The flight fins add another 3.7 inches to the stack and are removable for display. The orbiter even has a trim screw that allows you to adjust the elevator to get that perfect glide, or to get a realistic Shuttle approach angle which will be so frightening that you’ll immediately set it back to a perfect glide. It flies on 18mm “B”s and “C”s and does it’s best stuff on a C6- 3. We have solved the stability problems of the OOP Estes 1284 shuttle kit here- so ours flies up, rather than sideways. |
