and yes, please call me Rick! The only people who call me Richard are my mom and my wife...and only when I am in trouble!!

Lee...sounds like you have a great selection of Saturns! If I am not mistaken the SA-5 is Dr. Zooch's personal favorite rocket. It is available on through his vendors. My personal favorite is the white tank Saturn 1bs...the Skylab and ASTP missions. I love that rocket and still think its the coolest looking rocket NASA has ever flown.


Rick,
I think my passion for the SA-5 is that I visited Peter Alway in Ann Arbor back in the 90s, and held his scratch-built SA-5. It is on the cover of his book "The Art of Scale Model Rocketry". Back when he was selling them direct, I got a signed copy. I'd have to look at the book but I think he mentioned that it was 1:69 scale. If you Google the book, and dig around a bit, you can find a picture of the book and get a pretty good appreciation for the superb build quality. Here is one, but a bit grainy.

I'm gone starting in the morning for a week but I may try to order an SA-5 tonight before we leave.
