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