Dave Kovar with his Saturn V rocket complete with the launch facility. This model even includes the launch pad facilities. This model was flown at Buder Park on May 1, 2022
Nice job Dave! We watched it live, and it was a blast!!! Your hard work and attention to detail was a sight to see. Can’t wait to watch another reenactment!
Beautiful model and execution, Dave! I'm 69 and I scratch-built a 1/48 semi-scale (slightly enlarged fins) flying Saturn V models back in 1971 (powered by two Enerjet "F" engines). I would like to see additional launch videos of your rocket--its great!
The launch tower was awesome the animation on another level excellent build on the entire set up,last time I launched a Saturn V rocket never could find it,it went completely out of sight so it must be orbiting the earth lol,looked for about 3 wks and bout 60+ miles out no rocket
Would have loved to been there for that. the thought and planning to do this is phenomenal. How high did she fly and how was recovery thanks for sharing
That was an incredible video. The launch pad with the flame pits, the tower and the retractable access arms, the venting of the stages, the background audio including Jack King's countdown, and finally, the up-close view of the launch itself. Do you have a slo-mo version of that? Would be interesting. This video belongs in some sort of "Hall of Fame" of model rocket launches. To say a job well done would be an understatement. Thank you.
The model kit comes with the option to power the rocket with 3 x C6-5 engines, WAY more impressive liftoff than from one D engine. But the detail of the pad, and add’l pre-liftoff smoke is impressive. And how can you have only one camera view?
That Saturn V took of 20 times faster than the real one. The launch tower is just way to cool with the White Room, swing arms, cat walks, nitrogen vapor, fuel pipes, flame buckets and all those details. I think the launch pad is cooler than the rocket. Why was that wire to the left at 7:15 smoking?
