"Roger, copy rokitflite. We're at D-100 and counting."

Greg

Wow. Approximately 312 grams. Is that realistic?

I am thinking maybe 3 x D12s or an AP motor. Ok maybe 5 x D12s. "All engines running ..."

Greg

Yes.

31.2 grams.

It's an updated version of The Dude.

An inflatable Saturn V... Interesting. :confused:

its been eating
 

It gained an oz
well its cool , i have been putting off building mine for a while , since i will be able to get it illprolly do it

I have 1x24 + 4 18 motormount

Previous releases were already very simple on the inside. I wonder how it could be improved for easier assembly and I sure wonder how they plan to make the recovery more realistic without letting everything but the command module come in ballistic. :eek:

Is it a loose copy of the level 2.5 2157 kit or more like the level 4 2001 kit?

Cost?
