I like how he shows the damage and aftermath of launches. Most channels just show a launch and there isn’t any follow up. I think people appreciate this aspect of your channel. Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. 🚀🚀

The debrief following the launches is a truly great part of the channel!

Well, I’ve never had a chute failure, so I don’t know how you feel……… NOT! My heart broke when it went in. I love your “Never give up attitude”. She’ll fly again and be better than ever!

@modelrockets3215 Жыл бұрын

Yes for sure. It'll be back up soon. I fly' em so these things can happen occasionally. Repairing this one for sure.

@@modelrockets3215 I got an original shuttle kit in a lot purchase I made. The Mars lander in the lot was complete and in good shape, however, the space shuttle was missing some parts (the main engine pod seems to have been built, but not included). The plastic that makes up the shuttle is fragile for sure, but it is all there.

Great launch! Cool model! Had it as a kid. Lots of great flights. Unfortunately, the styrene shuttle didn't hold up well over the years. Still have the tank and boosters..... somewhere! Like your videos. 👍

defiantly have to rebuild that one... One of my favorites models from back in the day.

Also in the boosters put a little engine block in the front of each of those fit assemblies that'll prevent them from getting busted up again

Nice second flight, except for the recovery part. Like you said its part of the hobby. I've got one,the main body tube was in little bit of a oval, so I put the nose cone & one of the centering rings in the aft end of body tube to bring it back to round. Thats been a few weeks ,its getting there. Yea its a cool kit. I wish they would repop it or make it a little bigger.

I really liked this video. I have that very kit but haven't flown it in years, the orbiter sustaining heavy damage on its last mission. It is the second Estes shuttle stack kit I have built. The first one flew in the late 80's on a single mission. From a large school field the stack lifted off perfectly, the orbiter detached and glided better than I expected. Unfortunately, it glided too well, over the the school fence where it landed on the road and was promptly run over by a passing pickup truck. Ahh well, spaceflight is not for the faint of heart. Great channel.

Ahhh sorry about that Orbiter. Sound like you had it dialed in. Well Estes is re issuing an RTF version. Grab one and launch in.

Your content is perfect for the bunch of us that can't build "N" class motors or 9 ft body tubes on a regular basis.. You are showing the state how cool and affordable the hobby can be! .... And don't worry, they say "If the field isn't littered with debris, your not learning anything!".. God bless and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Excellent video . Really like the after flight evaluation in the shop to try to discover what the anomaly was.

Bummer. Hope you getter repaired. Try the glider in the back yard to see how it works and where to set your elevator

@lifesabrick5104 Жыл бұрын

As a young rocketeer, I followed the unwritten code of never building the same model as any of my friends or neighbors. Because of this I never bought this Space Shuttle and of course regret it. I'm consoled slightly by the memory of my 8th grade substitute English teacher who, when he learned of my affinity for model rockets, pulled me out of math class so we could watch the launch of the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981, I felt like king for a day. Great video and I'll be looking forward to your future shuttle launches.

Good story and good teacher for doing that. 🚀🚀 and yes the Shuttle is be repaired and will rise again.

I noticed a little tweak in the flight looks like that engine slid forward and maybe the ejection charge blew around the back of the engine and most of it went out the back

The hick up was the wire snagging on the fins on the 2nd flight. I have it in slow motion. It'll be posted.

Yea thats a classic. But it seems lime it has a tight flight envelope.

@modelrockets3215 Жыл бұрын

Yes. It's a good flyer. I can tell. Once dialed in. I wanted to see the initial glide. Then adjust. I didn't expect a nose dive. Rebuilding and will be back with this one.

Too much wadding? You said you had put extra in? Would love to see this one fly as a cluster utilising the solid rocket boosters

@modelrockets3215 Жыл бұрын

No it was the same amount as the 1st launch. I had the sheets crumpled and counted out. Fired and the cone was freed. Strange deal.

@@modelrockets3215 I finally got to launch Friday after 45 years. 1st time I ever used wadding and I “SWAG”’d qty of sheets for the Alpha and older “Scorpion”. Same size tubing. Decided to cut back 1 sheet on 🦂 and singed the chute but deployed enough to have 2 successful launches. Kids loved it. Sadly lost the “ Mosquito” (typical) and promised kids if they find it or even see it take off they can have it. 😉. Got sidetracked, but still like using batton or cellulose insulation instead. It never failed me and cheaper. Now I need a new chute. (May go to $ store for flame retardant crepe and streamer the Scorpion. ¯\(ツ)/¯ Awesome launches. Wanted the Centuri version as a kid but never had time or $$ b4 leaving for boot camp “Phoenix may have a problem,”. Yet MR 321 will rebuild and get things back on track. Thanks for vids Keith. Happy July Fourth 🎉 to you and all ur viewers

That shuttle model is an excellent one. Had great ascents on launch, too bad the second one had a failure. I learned the hard way as a kid to preflight my gliders and trim them before launching them several hundred feet into the sky.

@modelrockets3215 11 ай бұрын

Yep. I figured it would give sort of a glide like my other gliders. It'll be ready for the next flight.
