This is the original Saturn V built by either Sheri Ward or her husband. Sheri's Hot Rockets was the name of the company. It folded and Red Arrow Hobbies picked up the line, made some 'improvements' and also folded. I got mine from Red Arrow Hobbies.

Sorry, sometimes I'm a victim of my own imagination.

G/M Steven an rick he's a case is'nt he makes me laugh but he's a good un an yes many thanks for the wonderfull pics an she's a cracker an the rocket is'nt bad eithier lol :rolling: :nerd::thumb2: but could you resend pic no 3 of her with the Gemini Titan as it has'nt come out for me. An yes after all these yrs of me wondering what went wrong on my multi engines job i reckon you are right about not enough voltage to fire all of them.

Yes we should have used 12v but at the time we just dint think we'd have this problem as after the failuar i at the time put it down to the igniters bein of poor qauilty as some we had when my m8 was goin to fit the igniters into the engines the igniters just fell apart so had to refit some more. But after that i gave up because it was becoming to costly for just one launch

but it was great to try an exciting but now back to the present with your saturn is it possible to fit in a mini camera so you can see the launch after its back an landed ? as back again in time we were lookin through esetes catolouge an it showed a rocket kit with a tiny camera fitted in the nose so that when the model hit it full height an starts to fall back it would take a picture of the ground an hopefully we'd be in the pic but my m8 would not share the cost so no go on that :thinking:anyway have a nice day an i will talk later as i have a warship to build an it wont happen if im still sittin here lol:rolling:
all best chris

I'll more than likely use two cameras, one on the booster end and one on the upper section.

HI again Steven yes that sounds great two cameras one on the booster end and one on the upper section. So hopefully you could do a u tube vid of your Rockets launch an that would be great an can we see some pictures of your Rocket kits please as id love to see them :thumb2:

Start off small then begin climbing. Beginner outfits are relatively inexpensive.

[boatman]

yea but you need the space of at least a feild around you as you dont know were it will land on its parachutes

[StevenRB]

I'll be using two of these, one for each parachute. They allow the rocket to come down closer to the launch pad reducing walking distance: https://jollylogic.com/products/chuterelease/
