Hello! I built a micro space shuttle full stack, it flies well and goes about 35 ft.here it is compared to an Estes Luna bug and Estes star hopperI hope you like it.

Nice. What kind of recovery does it use?

 

[KenECoyote]

Very creative and DEFINITELY not from a kit, so you deserve:

 

[CoolRockets]

Tumble recovery

 

[Pappy]

thinkin' you might have created a new recovery system... ash

Nope, it’s been flown AND survived

It’s just so…

(quickly Googles the opposite of “dense” for this context”)

rare (that actually is the word, if you can believe that) that it just hangs in the air like a feather when the thrust cuts off.

Nope, it falls like a brick

I do like it! after a 10 year break ,I've been looking around and checking out this forum a little bit, kind of makes me interested in building one or two.

Well, so did the actual shuttle so consider your model true to scale.
