If anybody's done this I'd love to see a picture or two.

How long are they? (I was going to figure that out using the 10" wing span and the actual orbiter's length and wing span to "scale it out," until Ironnerd posted that the glider's wings are larger than the scale size.) Another possibility (although not scale) would be to stack two of the gliders on either side of a finless, parachute- or streamer-recovered core, in the manner of the Estes DOM "Space Twins" and the Cox "Space Shuttle America" boost-gliders. |
