Titan II Dynasaor
Had the final two flights today on my Titan II Dynasoar stack, both were perfect, here's the flight video from yesterday. Glider is 32" long and weighs 8 oz, full stack is 8" diameter by 9' tall and made out of 2mm and 6mm depron and weighs 80 ounces with glider ready to fly on an H motor, boosts to around 400' and then ejects the glider which is RC. Got some great video and still shots which is what I was hoping to get. Retiring it now while it is still in one piece after 2 years and more than 10 successful flights.

I saw this beast fly live-in-person on Saturday. Amazing!
Frank also launched a big Atlas missile. |

Have you considered a Thor-ASSET or a Winged Gemini (it was to be Titan II-launched: http://web.archive.org/web/20090607...ft/winemini.htm ) R/C model (see: http://www.google.com/search?q=Thor...0.MGtg6pD2 7So )? The ASSET (Aerothermodynamic Elastic Structural Systems Environmental Tests) re-entry gliders were Dyna-Soar (or Winged Gemini) test vehicles, and they were boosted by single-stage Thor and two-stage Thor-Delta (with the skinny, modified Vanguard second stage) launch vehicles. |

Here are some great shots from Gary Goncher, that I also shared on the NAR facebook page.

Often when scaling rockets with active stabilization (via gimballed motors) modelers need to add fins, but in this case, it's completely legitimate. This is a very well done project. Doug . |

Rather than start a new thread, I thought this would be a good one in which to mention the new release from Boyce: https://boyceaerospacehobbies.com/p...it-1-73rd-scale
Mine is on the way! Can't wait to build it! |
