| Very cool. What sort of fuel would they use for that......and I would have thought a 1/10 scale could get higher into the sky than 4000 ft....

| wow, looks for all the world like an SA-2 or similar. All that is needed is a guidance system and a warhead, and you have a surface to air rocket. I think that these guys in a way could actually teach Nasa a thing or two. They obviously are concerned about keeping costs down, which is something NASA could do well to re-learn....

| The best part of that video was the landing. Well done! 1600lbs of rocket and he didn't even bust a fin!

| Always enjoyed these Saturn V models big or small. Notice the use of oversize fins. |

| Saturn V.And this:SATV1. And this:The Sirius Rocketry 1:64 Flying Saturn V!. Now these are all available without certification to fly with the exception of the Sirius Saturn V which requires a level 2 certification because of the engine required to fly this model. |
