Estes Phoenix
Flight
Another flight for the venerable Phoenix. As per usual it cracked a fin loose. Sturdier build and I'd love to send it up on an E or even and F motor. - D12-5 [More]
DynaStar Stonebreaker
Flight
First RMS launch and it was a beaut! Straight up like a, well, rocket! Altitude is based on Rocksim. It got really tiny in a big hurry. That much I know for sure - E18-7 [More]

Dr. Zooch Return to Flight Space Shuttle
Flight
I positioned the orbiter away from the prevailing wind. This caused a nice, slow half roll so the shuttle was now in the wind and on its back during climb out. Excellent glide and stack recovery. The orbiter landed within 20 feet of the main tank. - C6-5 [More]
Dr. Zooch Return to Flight Space Shuttle (Kit)
Review
The Dr. Zooch Space Shuttle is a small but realistic model of the present day NASA workhorse.
