1:10 Scale Saturn V

All systems were go, and the launch last weekend was beautiful!

Check out this page for photos.

A few details: Altitude 4,441', max velocity 450mph, 7 G's, something like 181,000Ns? and about 187lbs of propellant. That was a P motor surrounded by eight N motors, making for a total thrust equivalent to an R!

Thanks to the Rocket Dungeon for the pointers. Check out his blog for more photos and links.

    Jebus - this is way outta my league. I think I may have built one "F" engine model, back in the day...

    Very impressive!

Tread carefully, I have a low tolerance for stupidity.

Oh wait... no I don't. Just don't be an ass.
