Default Space Shuttle America... A New Slant On The COX Original

Here's a dual shuttle design, carried aloft via a 29mm composite motor.

It uses (2) 1/4" dia. dowels glued to the nose cone. These dowels slide into the gliders. At ejection the nose cone releases the glider.

Default SSA: Cutting The Nose Cones

1st step was cutting the nose cones on my JET 1236 lathe.

I used a scrap 4x4 pine for the 3" and the Ramjet nozzles.

For the glider cones I used a piece of hard 2 x 6 SYP.

Default SSA: Cutting The Body Tubes & Centering Rings

I cut the body tubes on my chop saw.

The centering rings were cut using a fly cutter and a scroll saw.

The ramjet nozzles were cut using the jigsaw, and then sanded to fit the 3" tube.

Default SSA: Cutting The Fins

Fins were cut from 1/4" plywood on my jigsaw, then sanded to shape.

I used my router to round over the edges.

Default SSA: Glider Assembly Day 01

The glider fins are a TTW affair where the wings and the vertical stabilizer all glue together and then the body tube is slotted and slid into place.

This makes the gliders hell-for-stout.
