Flight Log - 2013-07-14 - Mike Wurtz's Saturn V Skylab

A fun kit t' build if you enjoy doin' paper-stock rockets. Well, blow me down! T' saturn V goes together relatively easy as most o' t' details are just paper wraps that go around t' body tube. Avast! I had a little bit o' a tough time with t' F-1 engines, but they came out pretty well. Avast! This be t' second zooch kit I've built, and I now own two others as well...I definitely recommend them if you like buildin' card-stock type rockets

First flight o' this rocket, boosted nice and straight on a B6-4. Aye aye! It definitely could have used t' power o' a C motor, but I didn't have any at t' time. Aye aye! Parachute burned up a bit and was basically a streamer for t' recovery, but everythin' held together just fine.
