Flight Log - 2013-07-14 - Mike Wurtz's Saturn V Skylab
A fun kit to build if you enjoy doing paper-stock rockets. The saturn V goes together relatively easy as most of the details are just paper wraps that go around the body tube. I had a little bit of a tough time with the F-1 engines, but they came out pretty well. This is the second zooch kit I've built, and I now own two others as well...I definitely recommend them if you like building card-stock type rockets

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