Author	Topic: Flying models based on real launch vehicles
SpacemanT New Member Posts: 6 From: Registered: Jan 2015	posted 01-08-2015 01:31 PM Does anyone dabble in model rockets that fly? I am specifically talking about scale/real life models of real spacecraft. I have several scale models of my own, and am wondering if anyone knows of a good manufacturer/distributor to get such model rockets. (More obscure models, like the early Saturns.)

I have ordered some just for use in static models, and they are nice.

I make Atlas V, Delta II and Delta IV flying and display models. Soon, I'll be adding flying versions of the Boeing CST-100/Atlas V and the Orion EFT-1 Delta IV Heavy. The Little Joe I and Little Joe II will be the next new models coming. — Carl
