Estes Phoenix

Flight

Another flight for the venerable Phoenix. As per usual it cracked a fin loose. Sturdier build and I'd love to send it up on an E or even and F motor. - D12-5 [More]

   

DynaStar Stonebreaker

Flight

First RMS launch and it was a beaut! Straight up like a, well, rocket! Altitude is based on Rocksim. It got really tiny in a big hurry. That much I know for sure - E18-7 [More]

   

Dr. Zooch Saturn V

Flight

Built this one to replace the one I lost. First flight was great. Flew right after a Mercury 7. That was cool! - C6-5 [More]

   

Dr. Zooch Return to Flight Space Shuttle

Dr. Zooch Return to Flight Space Shuttle

Flight

I positioned the orbiter away from the prevailing wind. This caused a nice, slow half roll so the shuttle was now in the wind and on its back during climb out. Excellent glide and stack recovery. The orbiter landed within 20 feet of the main tank. - C6-5 [More]

   

Dr. Zooch Return to Flight Space Shuttle (Kit)

Review

The Dr. Zooch Space Shuttle is a small but realistic model of the present day NASA workhorse. The Shuttle stack is launched and the orbiter separates at ejection to glide back to earth while the external tank (ET) and solid rocket boosters (SRBs) come back via the parachute. The lack of a ...
