Soviet N-1

This scale model of the Soviet N-1 moon rocket was created by the men
and women of Tripoli San Diego (Prefect #5) and DART (NAR Section
#317). This launch took place at Plaster Blaster in 2005. The rocket
was 21 feet tall and weighed over 300lbs on the pad. I don't recall
the details of the motor configuration. If you look closely you will
notice a couple of things. The third stage had fold-out fins for
stability, and there was a small D-powered fourth stage. Everything
went according to plan, and our N-1 went higher than any real N-1 ever did. This was a spectacular event.
The short clip at the end is the 10inch Thumper M drag race from the same Plaster Blaster.
