    Nice job Dave! We watched it live, and it was a blast!!! Your hard work and attention to detail was a sight to see. Can’t wait to watch another reenactment!
  • @KevinsModels
    The attention to detail is very impressive! This is how kids should learn history. Beats reading about it in a book.
  • @MrJackHackney
    That was the best model simulation I have seen of the Saturn V launch. Suggestion: At liftoff switch cameras to slow motion!
  • Beautiful model and execution, Dave! I'm 69 and I scratch-built a 1/48 semi-scale (slightly enlarged fins) flying Saturn V models back in 1971 (powered by two Enerjet "F" engines). I would like to see additional launch videos of your rocket--its great!
  • @minerran
    Nicely done! That's the closest to a real launch anyone can get using solid fuel engines. Awesome.
  • Wow, wow, wow-a beautiful model of the most beautiful launch vehicle to ever fly! I teared up when the LOX venting started...😊❤
  • Its crazy how wild you can get with thse model rockets! Those E9s are tricky, especially removing the ejection charge.

    The launch tower was awesome the animation on another level excellent build on the entire set up,last time I launched a Saturn V rocket never could find it,it went completely out of sight so it must be orbiting the earth lol,looked for about 3 wks and bout 60+ miles out no rocket
  • Would have loved to been there for that. the thought and planning to do this is phenomenal. How high did she fly and how was recovery thanks for sharing
  • That was an incredible video. The launch pad with the flame pits, the tower and the retractable access arms, the venting of the stages, the background audio including Jack King's countdown, and finally, the up-close view of the launch itself. Do you have a slo-mo version of that? Would be interesting. This video belongs in some sort of "Hall of Fame" of model rocket launches. To say a job well done would be an understatement. Thank you.
