Space Shuttle Scale model RC - Flight at Manching 2017

Space shuttle RC, Scale Model, radio controlled glider

[@uftukel1714]

Outstanding. Even had the roll maneuver. Very impressive! Congrats!

[@TheAngelozarate]

The whole booster separation sequence is awesome!

[@brickonblock5183]

I absolutely agree

[@Mike-fl9gi]

FACTS! 💯⚠️

[@chezman3892]

Hats off to the designer who engineered this!! From start to finish incredibly realistic for this type of model rocketry. Much more than I was expecting.

[@cindysue5474]

Look up the Saturn RC rocket that thing is huge.

[@chezman3892]

@@cindysue5474 Yes the Saturn 5 is big, my brother and I built the kit. But this shuttle far outshines the Saturn 5 as far as realism goes, this is VERY similiar in motion and actions to an actual shuttle launch.

[@tymcfadden8496]

finally someone builds one of these that does the whole launch sequence... even had the mains start before the SRB's. never seen one do the actual SRB sep and then the tank sep... well done fella's, well done.

[@brickonblock5183]

Exactly what I thought. It really Was a great video

[@cartler]

Also including the landing! I expected it to skip on flying the shuttle and just parachute it back down

[@MrWeezer55]

Absolutely. That was a real achievement!

[@durgabhavanijalapati6668]

George gassaway did one way back in the 90's

[@ILSRWY4]

And yet after all that they still land it in the grass... wheels up... When one can bring back an RC orbiter, after a launch, put it down on an RC hard surface runway, and on wheels and then deploy a little drag chute, then I'll be impressed.

[@branjosnow6244]

That was amazing looking. The booster rockets separating were outstanding. Very impressive.

[@Joe..3.8.0.9_]

I am 60 years of age and have flown many model rockets in my time , but this was by far the best flight I have ever seen , beautiful with the detaching boosters , oh did I mention I've worked on the space shuttle program for 5 years. Very well done ! Congrats !!. Sound would have been a nice added touch !

[@PieroAcme]

Hi Joseph! Thanks :-) It is a pleasure to get such comments from someone that worked on the real stuff!! About sound , I use high speed camera to record the video. This unfortunately don't record the sound. But next flight I'll use a second normal camcorder so it will be available.

[@Mishn0]

especially no horrible music. muted in one second

[@timatkins860]

I don’t get all the complaints about the sound track. This is the most ingenious, original model rocket/ RC I’ve ever seen. From the slow, realistic take off to the separation of the rocket boosters and tank. All the way to the controlled flight and landing. WELL DONE!

[@PieroAcme]

Thanks Tim :-)

[@rezzer7918]

Except for the music

[@kougerat5388]

The best part for me was the lift off, I have seen others that take off like a firework rocket, this was way more realistic, good job sir

[@finnvankoutrik7131]

That only is because most model rockets are really light. And they always want to get the rocket very high

[@winsor68]

This footage was slowed way way down to make it look realistic.

[@-maxipoo-]

Yah you can tell by the unrealistic wobble

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

I'm blown away by how cool that was. When the solid rocket boosters disengaged, I literally cheered. I've lived in central Florida for most of my life. I've seen the real thing in person. This was extremely well done.

[@nunyhnamte]

The thought the lift off was gonna be quick like firework but damn it's as real as it gets.. Good frickin show

[@lemartip]

That's what I hoped it couldn't ....but what a good surprise

[@schmeegil2240]

They slowed the video so it appears more realistic)

[@dndmat]

OK, that was truly awesome! The stages, the roll, flying after tank jettison and everything. Amazing work.

[@glidercoach]

Do you think that it sounds like the real space shuttle?

[@jimbethel8092]

loved how it took off slowly, like the real rocket, great touch.

[@BruceHurley]

Actually, there's nothing slow about real rockets. They just look slow because of their size. The Saturn V, for instance, hit 125 in 5 seconds, 250 in 10 seconds and 750 in 30 seconds. But you're right that this launch looked more realistic because the scale speed of most hobby rockets is way faster than large-scale rockets.

[@cancelanime1507]

[@LasVegas68]

I don't know how long it took you to do this space shuttle RC program, I have to say it was well worth it! I salute your workmanship my friend, well done!

[@DavidWilliams-mo6dj]

Tell me about it that was very realistic, I loved it. I thought it would go to shoot off like a like the model rockets do. But that thing took off nice and slow reached a certain altitude and even released on...... Don't know what they're called so I'll just call him boosters to get the rocket off the ground. That's pretty much what's used. And then the big booster is to get the shuttle the rest of the way up into orbit.

[@frosteazzzisgod5243]

Yeah

[@Cleptro]

@@DavidWilliams-mo6dj The white rockets are SRBs, short for Solid Rocket Boosters, while the orange stage is the ET, or external tank. Unlike the SRBs, which get the shuttle up to a certain speed, the ET is literally a massive fuel tank meant to keep the orbiter fueled for the majority of its ascent. Fun fact, it actually feeds the engines a different fuel than what the orbiter actually stores in its internal fuel reserves.

[@DwayneETowns]

The space shuttles were the greatest spacecraft aerospace engineers ever created. Now somebody created a model with that much attention to detail is a achievement in And of itself. I would really like to see the price of a kit for this. or how much it cost to build it.

[@mcvitus3922]

Extraordinary! Belongs to the finest models and flights on RC ever, in my opinion! Congratulations!!

[@rytvdinners5064]

I built one of the first Estes rocket kits of the shuttle in 1976...flew flawlessly, separated and glided back down in a circular pattern while the tank vessel parachuted perfectly. My crown achievement as a sixth grader

[@PieroAcme]

The kit 1284! It was my 1st Shuttle :-) . Here the video of the "modified" kit I did years ago. Glider is different , but SRB and ET are from the original one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3euk5-wqql_hM0

[@rondove9868]

I had the same kit in 1986 when Challenger blew up I was in 7th grade. That spring we were doing rocketry in science class. I stuck a m80 firecracker in mine and it blew up . I got suspended from school and a good ole ass beating from dad because we spent a lot of money on the kit.. no one thought it was funny also. The principal asked why I put the m80 in it and I replied I wanted it look realistic!

[@VW5767]

Growing up in Florida and watching a few launches in person, this one is just like the real thing! Well done!

[@McGyver777ATGMAIL]

I am amazed at how the scale model can operate so realistically.

[@dustycrophopper2743]

Fantastic rocket. The whole aerodynamics was good. The rocket even has stage by stage separation and the it releases the space shuttle into orbit. The space shuttle too had great aerodynamics, it flew nicely for well over 5 minutes and then landed. Amazing.

[@floydjohnson7888]

That looks like a well-planned and well-carried-out tribute to one of the most interesting parts of the history of manned spaceflight.

[@deutscheshygiene-institut8091]

I buildt rockets myself when I was 14, some of them flew up more than 100 Meters. The (slow!) start of this Space Shuttle is the most demanding challenge - any tiny little disharmony in the Shuttle's rockets, and the whole thing will go anywhere. It is really nice to see it working, in fact the slow beginning is a miracle. Next time you fly you may land a little bit closer, so we can see the Shuttle in larger scale. Thank you for such highlight!
