Does the LES tower come off for flight or is it (somewhat) permanently fastened in-place?

It's a permanent piece, molded with the CSM.

Is the rocket made of cardboard tube of a light plastic like the old COX Saturn V ?

There is a BT-55 card board tube running down the center of the model but other then that it is all plastic.

Got my new 1/200 Scale Saturn V today from AC Supply. She looks great, have her on display beside my computer. I plan on flying her on the anniversary of Apollo 11 launch July 16th @ 9:32am.

May order me some Q-Jets for that flight

I’m awaiting mine. My AC Supply package is sitting in the USPS facility in Missouri “Shipment Received. Package Acceptance Pending”. That was 5 days ago. Cannot reach USPS, I’ve sent AC Supply an email asking for help.

I don't know it all, but it was the same for me, they mailed it last Monday, took a whole full week and a day to get it and tracking wasn't worth a penny.

I believe I know what is going on. In my case, I ordered motors and they shipped the motors and rockets together which means ground and not 1st Class.

They use to mail my motors ground and my rockets 1st Class in the pass any way.

So if you ordered motors, that is mostly what is going on.

I had no tracking except when it was dropped and when it got to my location.

Main thing is, I got it

Thanks, that is probably the reason. I order two Saturns, then some motors to take me over a $100.
