Default 3x Upscale Estes Mini Shuttle

Built a 3.3 times upscale Estes Mini Shuttle.
Built the original kit in late 90s.
Build/launch video below shows structural build, test launch on I300T, painting/decals, then launch on I284W.

Original weighed 1 oz. Upscale weighs in at 7 lb. Original flew on B motor. Upscale flys well on I motors.

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
