George, do you recall there the Cg for the 2009 shuttle is? I imaging that with the way aft fin pods, the Cg is further back than in the earlier shuttles. It doesn't seem to be noted in the drawings.
Now I’m a little worried about the liftoff weight. Average thrust is only 2x. But peak thrust is 6x.
a motor with reasonable max thrust.
F240 Vmax is pretty reasonable.....
You've made a really nice model! Good SRB wraps, and wow a nice way of doing the corrugated Intertank wrap as an embossed part (I was either going to vac-form or look into laser-cut cardboard wraps)
I'm continuing my 1/100 US manned spaceflight series with the Space Shuttle.
This will be a little off-scale in several directions. The 3.44" tubing from my 1/35 Titan GLV is about 1/97 for the external tank. Using BT58 for the SRB is about 1/95. Taking inspiration from other threads here on the forum, I'm using a Guillows foam orbiter. The wingspan is right for the tubes - but the body is small for the wings - more like 1/115.
So I've gathered my parts and am doing some test fitting and prepping.

It’s one of these:Very nice build! Could you provide me with the details behind the servo controller? I can't seem to find anything that simple.
