Pretty good day for everyone

A little vacation.

The launch pad resting a bit. Continued soon.
Now relax, cutting grid. MAKC old plan.
+ MAKC carrier, is now preparing for construction of experimental media.

Generous donation of design.
Pepakura sketch only, no manual, no help.

Construction of the experimental design sequence.

I ask pardon if the OF theme. I spacecraft, but it's part ..

I started in February and still small occupation.

I'm sorry I'm sorry for quality, but it's just the way searches.

Quick and dirty!

The paper quality does not belong here, and do not really understand the concept

The oblique planes are not parallel, but similar.

Now I know what you should pay attention to construction.

Cutting angle was not good ....

Torsion of the tribe, and many bug

If the plan is made MAKC reports.

I'm sorry if topic OF

Good job
Merzo

That's quick and dirty?!? That's a two month project for me...

I looks fantastic, Merzo! Now you just need to put a Buran shuttle on it's back.

Hey, wait a minute... It has no engines. Guess it's still a work in progress, huh? Looks great so far.

BIG! I like BIG models, nice job.

Hi Merzo, nice quick and dirty testbuild, this. The design is feasible, I see. Are you planning to design the MAKS minishuttle yourself?

(For those of you didn't catch the cyrillic in Merzo's text: MAKC means MAKS - the little ugly shuttle with the huge teardrop external tank coming out of its err... Nose.

Hey PK what kind of launch platform did they have in mind for getting this thing off the ground. I'm guessing "since you posted this here" that it must be aircraft launched.

MAKS would have been launched from the back of the Antonov Mriya that Merzo just tried out..

and a biggie:

Funniest thing is that the Americans also had this idea. Serendipity? Who knows.

Boy that would be a real thrill killer for Kennedy Space center launch fans.

I'm sure NASA would have made some convertible Boeing 747 to fly at a safe distance next to the US MAKS with 400 passengers holding on to their chairs, wearing oxygen masks to watch the launch..

This is a massive plane. I thought I was in love with the C-5 but think I am falling in love with this one too.

Merzo, that looks great the Antonov has allways been one of my favorite planes! the thing just looks SO good in the air . Saw a film of it flying at some airshow and the pilot was flying the $#@% out of it!! It looked so cool! do you plan to put out a download i would love to build it.......Rich
