Would it be feasible to build a scale r/c space shuttle? I know the sink rate would be horrible (like the real thing!), but it would be cool. It would be launched by model rocket engines, then flown like the shuttle back down.
What do you think???:confused:

I think Chris Golds did it. He brought it up with a B-52 ( 8 impellers ). IIRC there was an article about this in an UK mag about 1 year ago?? I should have this issue.

It surely can be done!
One of my friends even built a sailplane model of it, it caused a couple of dropped jaws when it came gliding along the hang!
So, there's something in my quote.... :p
