| R/C Shuttle Launch Tower and Platform |
 |
 |
| Since I built a scale flying R/C Space Shuttle, I wanted a scale launch pad and tower. However, I shortened the lenght of the launch pad, by about 1/2 to save wood and make it easier to store in my small hobby room. It takes away from the scale look somewhat, but I can always add to it when I get a bigger house. More picturs to come, work is still in progress. |

| This picture was taken the day of the 4th launch. The shuttle is the same, but the tank and busters are of a new and lighter design. Notice the LOX arm at the top of the tank and the walk ways on the mobile launch platform. These were added to the tower since the first launch. 9/7/2006 |
