RC Shuttle Drop Tests - Will It Glide?

- This is Part 2 of this RC Space Shuttle Series. We're seeing if we can recreate the Space Shuttle Program with R/C planes and model rockets. After watching a Space Shuttle documentary, I thought it would make an interesting Project Air mini-series to build and launch a model space shuttle from beginning to end. This is part 2. Check out part 1 here.
To provide you with some more info, we're using Estes solid rocket motors to propel a foam board Space Shuttle attached to boosters into the atmosphere for it to detach and be piloted back down. This episode sees the shuttle drop tests from an R/C airplane, much like the Enterprise drop tests from a NASA Boeing 747.
Free plans for the Shuttle can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/13drL...
Note! These are very vague and just what I used to make my own shuttle. I improvised some of the parts from foam board and you'll have to do the same.

awesome job guys
"Part 1: A crash course in piloting."
I am an RC plane flyer/modeller and I am absolutely amazed by capabilities of that big bomber plane! Such a greatly balanced design and the fact that it can fly even with such payload made me speachless. Kudos to the pilot and his skills! I would love to see the plans and build video of that plane :D
I was at Edwards on the day Enterprise was dropped. Approach and landing test #1. I was working on flight qualifying the APU systems for the Columbia at the time.
Yeeessss rockety mcrocket face!!!! Go on lad
Well this was absolutely awesome.
Mike did an AWESOME job flying that shuttle. I've got a lot of flight time on systems like this, and that's about the hardest thing you could possibly learn on.
Tom Stanton brought me here, nice work!
How does your channel only have like 7000 subs? Wtf?! You're awesome mate!! :)
Making me wait til
Come on!!!! This channel should have millions of subscribers, it’s awsome
Great stuff, good to see people having fun with RC projects. Keep up the good work.
Amazing job, guys! Both of you!!! 😃
You guys did a GREAT job!!
Not sure what the glide slope was on your shuttle but looked similar to the 'flying brick' characteristics of the full sized shuttle. Well done.
Fun stuff! Well done guys. Congrats!
Fantastic ! Well done guys !
Inspired to re start my shuttle program
Outstanding!!
Wonderful and amazing stuff
