Model Rocket Shuttle Crash

[Calvertfilm]

@iChrisWebshow That's the way Estes made this particular version of the shuttle though. It can and does work, just not when a breeze hits it.

I think you might have had an LOCV there...

[Calvertfilm]

@schuminweb LOL.

lol u can almost tell by the design of that thing that it wouldn't launch good. the flat underside of that thing would make it want to tip back

[Calvertfilm]

Its an Estes kit and often does fly well. In fact elsewhere on YouTube I have a good flight in which it glides wonderfully. I forget which rocket video of mine it is though.

Problem here was a cross wind.

I had one many years ago, flew great!

[Calvertfilm]

Yeah, one I had flew fantastic but this one seemed to vary.

[jupitorman]

were did you get your shuttle from ,i want one thanks

[Calvertfilm]

Hi. The model is an old Estes kit. I don't think they make that one anymore. They also used to make another with the SRBs on the side and with a smaller Orbiter. I guess the best bet now is to search online at model rockets stores or places like eBay. Hope you find one.

Houston,we have a problem.

[Coastergeekperson04]

Ouch!

[Calvertfilm]

Sometimes they fly great. Other times like this. Seems to depend on corss winds more than anything else. At least I had two.
