This is Steve Eve's beautiful, huge 1/10 scale Saturn V flying on a cluster of rocket motors totaling some 42,000lbs of thrust. It was a world record for a model rocket but you wouldn't know it talking to Mr humble. Great job, Steve!!

  • Jerry,

    You did a terrific job with this video. We met at the DCRC Octoberfest on 10/4/09.

    I'm amazed that you have only 722 views as of 10/1/09. The content and production values should have produced more!

  • Thanks Les, appreciate your comments. I think maybe the reason for the low hit count was that it took me a week or more to edit the footage so this video was a little late to the party. There was 1 guy who posted his the very same afternoon - that one has thousands of views. Oh well........

see all

  • Hands down coolest model rocket EVAR. Fuck yeah!

  • Looks like stage 2 failed.

  • Wicked cool !! --- As a 40th Anniversary tribute I think everyone would agree the effort was above and beyond the call of duty! Steve and company, I suspect future generations of rocketry enthusiasts will be inspired by this effort and as such, gentlemen, YOU are now officially a part of American history. Well done!

  • Amazing Steve! what a size! I'll bet that scared the neighbours! Well done mate!... I stood next to one of them at the smithsonian when I was 10 years old..AWESOME! Its great to see someone like yourself has achieved an accomplishment like this.

  • awesome video will it ever fly again?

  • I love love love this video and this project! I used to love building and launching Estes model rockets when I was a boy, and watching this video brought all that right back. Thank you all SO much for this. F**kin-A!!

  • OUTSTANDING...what a awesome project

  • Outstanding.

  • Thats really amazing. I could imagine how much work and dedication, and brain power went into building that. To have it launch and come back like that must have been a great feeling. Awesome job!
