Mighty Saturn V model rocket

[MultiTestPage]

That is 500-600ft tops, not 1,000ft. I have one myself that only goes 922ft on a G80 motor. At least that is what the altimeter says.

[raperitoenamorado1]

wow very sweet dude but u should put how u made it is aweesome ;)

[weirdone17]

u should have made a chute deploy with an apogee detector so you could recreate this wonderous moment..... lol

[SIERRAHPBT]

wheres the chute?

[237rascalflatts]

kick ass

[Lullapulluda]

thanks you for choosing the best song for ANY rocket based video. No wonder stanley kubrick chose it for 2001: A Space Odyssey!

great vid

[snarfbot]

awesome!

[RocketDude92]

that was really cool. you should make the technical drawings of everything to build it and sell it.

[jacktheripped]

using fins that far forward is a bad idea, it moves the center of pressure foward and you want it back. leave them off of future projects.

Rockets that have forward fins have active guidance so if the go off direction they can correct them selves.

The only way around that is to use lots of weight in the nose to move the center of gravity ahead of the center of pressure

[TERRANCIO]

Thx to the russians we enjoy these things today, god bless!

[sonicfan1234100]

cool

[journeyquest1]

No chute eh?

[anduril9969]

@silverpizza100 STEALTH SHUTTLE!!!

[RaccoonGoon93]

Haha, me and my gramps put D engines in a little 20 dollar Estes rocket (Total # of flights-4) Ya, we never saw it again.

[mehtol]

nice but i wanna hear the sound of take off :(

[max11nedved]

very good!!

[skinnywhop87]

My father and I built one pbly 10 years ago, it had 2 stage D-Rockets...... Needless to say we only had it for only one launch...... lol Avoid D engines if you take the time and care about the rocket you build, those things are powerful and WILL give any model rocket enough thrust to get out of sight, lol let alone 2 stages of them. We predict it probably went about 1600 feet up, the nose cone and chutes pbly failed to open and it mostlikely either impaled itself or shattered somewhere

[enginecontrol32]

@skinnywhop87 watch it have traveled to another country and they have been planning to go to war with us but are waiting for a second one to hit their turf. hahaha

[flightsimx65]

why does it have 3 engines?

[douhnutz]

so it can go faster then blow up. duh......

[Ulsoro]

wow nice ! gj

[Ulsoro]

where did u buy this :O ?

[DarkAngelSeries]

I didn't buy this, I made it out of household stuff

[MrPossable]

@Ulsoro you can buy it at your local hobby store, i got mine at Hobby Wholesale if you live in canada, if not then just look around for it at other hobby stores

[danschaoticmind]

I have to say in perfect fairness, the use of a fuse such as that is a bit dubious to me. But then, I have had more success using a parallel configuration for the electric igniter's which worked perfectly for me. Fuses always seem to cause an uneven burn pattern. Have you experienced similar results?

[DarkAngelSeries]

Actually no. I've been wrapping my own fuses since I was a kid and have excellent results.

[danschaoticmind]

Thats something else. I always found the burn pattern to be annoying at the least. But then again I use a hollow core rocket type for greater burn area.

By the way, will you be following the Ares 1-X launch in about 4 hours?

[DarkAngelSeries]

Yep, watching and waiting for the weather to get better down there. Crossing fingers

[danschaoticmind]

Rocket launch and landing! Kathy Winters (Who is now internet famous for trolling everyone with her dynamic environments ) made sure the launch didnt happen till the last minute. Beautiful footage already online.

[taofledermaus]

Please, if you slow down videos in an editor, please mute the volume of the soundtrack.

[Photon1272]

The music is:

"Also sprach Zarathustra" or

"Thus spoke Zarathustra" from Richard Strauss

[53rockets]

cool...but the center-of-gravity was way to low to the back of the rocket because during lift-off the rocket swayed back in forth in the air and the rocket landed with its back end being the heaviest. Be careful flying in wind...it could be catostrophic! Nice rocket though.

[divxdeadman]

will you give me the plans to biuld this please good video 5 *****

[skkid339]

where did u buy those things that burn at 1:16 ? lol (i forgot what their called) im talking about the little green igniting string not the engne

[DarkAngelSeries]

A few years back I picked up a roll of igniter wire from a hobby shop.

[prathage]

How Did You Make It?

[prathage]

Thats Awsome

[silvergun28]

wow, u used three e engines! That would be awesome if I even could find a d!

[evilali1111]

Look at my awesome rocket launches.

[bestamerica]

try use a aerotech rocket motor in this saturn V,,,

aerotech rocket motor is better than estes rocket motor

[bestamerica]

try use a aerotech rocket motor,,,

aerotech rocket motor is better that estes rocket motor,,,

my R/C model rocket used a aerotech rocket motor

[sevic333]

Sucked in, it crashed!!

[w580ifan]

nice

[Lancecrafter]

Did your parachute not deploy?

[DarkAngelSeries]

By using an estes Altitrak. It measures the altitude of their rockets and in this case, mine.

[singular23]

Cool Video! I really like your home made Saturn! How do you measure the height it hitted?

[Chrisjr2007]

nice!!:).

looks cool:)

[DarkAngelSeries]

Aerotech, Its simply a set of fuses strung together. For whatever reason, I seem to have the best of luck of them igniting the motors at the same time.

[rebelcountry33]

nicely done :)

[AerotechMan101]

why fuses? or is that a cluster cable

[DarkAngelSeries]

Having designed these rockets in the past (10) years ago on a much smaller scale, I found that adding additional fins halfway along the frame added stability to the rockets flight. However, I will be launching the Gemini Rocket equal in size on the next clear day of launch. This rocket doesn't have centerline fins so it will be a treat to see if the rocket will stay on course without them. New videos will be posted soon after the launch.

[Spuds706]

Why the clear fins halfway up the rocket? Unless it's staged, that moves the center of pressure forward which will make it more unstable. If it IS 2 or 3 stage, post that video- would LOVE to see it :)

[DarkAngelSeries]

Thanks everyone. As of May 15th, the Saturn is ready to fly again. Joining it in another soon to be released video, will be the launch of a 6 foot Gemini launch.

[highpwn]

nice

[DarkAngelSeries]

Great launch
