I had to cancel my trip to Pueblo for the Apollo Celebration Launch, due to wrenching my back hauling moss rock for more landscaping work. Talk about poor timing.
My wife had to go to Denver today to our oldest daughter’s home today. She lives 5 miles from Bear Creek Lake Park, where the NAR section CRASH flies. I went with, I just had to fly my little Estes 1:200 Saturn V. Perfect flight on a C6-3. Deployed chute at apogee. Recovery was great, no dings or marks. I’d guess it flew to around 200 feet. Landed close by, fortunately, since I could barely walk.
That to me is the perfect motor for the rocket. Everyone could see the entire flight. Unfortunately, I forget to get my phone out to capture the flight. I thought about a second flight, and decided to call it quits.
I’m really quite impressed with the little Saturn. Well done, Estes!
