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.
