One man’s quest to honor America’s Saturn V rocket – The story of the biggest scale model rocket ever built

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

  3. I hope to see the video!! I am a huge fan of the Saturn 5 am I seen this while looking to buy a replica model. I have recently been involved in a project developing a rocket that will surpass the lift capacity of the Saturn 5.
