Space Shuttle Test Flight
"We've made it a #makemas this afternoon with cardboard. Son said he wanted a "car size space shuttle" so we got to it with Amazon boxes, shipping tape, a carbon fiber tube spar, and Makedo fasteners. Quickly realized it balanced and decided to make it flyable..."
...and it really does fly!

Then we did a few more flights, it was very stable and flew well pic.twitter.com/RaEZgBeYZR

Even tried a flight with the @GoPro onboad, but it was a bit top heavy and got unstable in roll. Almost took out a passing neighbor that stopped to watch the fun pic.twitter.com/m18BW6LEMt
