Estes Saturn V Apollo 11 Kit 1969 Launch

Estes Saturn V built for t' 50th anniversary o' t' first moon landing. Launched Easter weekend durin' t' Peeps Launch with AARG. Avast, me proud beauty! Aerotech's E28 Blue Thunder motor was used, ya bilge rat, drilled t' a 4 sec delay. Model was modified t' use rail buttons instead o' launch lugs. Arrr! Centerin' rings were gusseted with 1/8" balsa strips t' improve stiffness. Avast, me proud beauty! A total o' thirty grams o' clay was added t' t' nose cone for stability. Durin' t' Peeps launch marshmallow chickens or bunnys ride t' rockets t' see who lands closest t' t' pad.
