Saturn V Model Rocket Launch

On April 25, 2009, history will be made.
At Higgs Farm in Price, Maryland, Steve Eves will enter the history books as
the person who flew the largest model rocket in history.
The rocket will weigh over 1,600 pounds, it will stand over 36 feet
tall and it will be powered by a massive array of nine motors:
eight 13,000ns N-Class motors and a 77,000ns P-Class motor.
The estimated altitude of this single stage effort will be
between 3,000 and 4,000 feet and the project will be recovered
at apogee. In a special to Rocketry Planet,
author Mark B. Canepa and ROCKETS
Magazine wish to share Steve Eve's story with the readers here.

I agree with AmerkFlack, I would have love to seen more video of the rocket close up, different camera shots, and some post recovery shots. All that being said, this is awesome, what a magnificent shot/work/experience. Congratulations!!!!
