    NEW USAF spaceplane ! Rockwell TAV

    NEW USAF spaceplane ! Rockwell TAV

    I just found this plastic model thinking it would make a great rocket or rocket glider.
    Kinda looks like the Dyna-Soar

    We got two categories of pilots around here. We got your prime pilots that get all the hot planes, and we got your pud-knockers who DREAM about getting the hot planes.
    Now what are you two pud-knockers gonna have?... Huh?”

    Looks like a bunch of flat surfaces comprising this thing...hmm....might have to consider this in the near future. Do not know how big to make it yet.

    That looks like a really fun project, but I've got to say that you might have trouble with both the up part and the down part. The rocket is pretty squat and stubby. Stability on the boost might require a little care. For the down part, roll and yaw stability look good. I wonder about lift, though.

    Please build it. I'm anxious to see if it works.
