As someone that watched the space program progress from the first Mercury Redstone rockets, this was AWESOME. Great job!

The attention to detail is very impressive! This is how kids should learn history. Beats reading about it in a book.

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!

That was the best model simulation I have seen of the Saturn V launch. Suggestion: At liftoff switch cameras to slow motion!

Went to settings and played the looking up shot at .25 speed and that was cool! Mute the sound of course.

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!

Its crazy how wild you can get with thse model rockets! Those E9s are tricky, especially removing the ejection charge.

Great how he had lox simulation on the rocket body, blast and smoke on the launch!

This is a great replica of pad 39a with an awesome Saturn V rocket I would love to know what this guy has invested in this great model
@pauldavis42875 ай бұрын
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?

Nicely done! That's the closest to a real launch anyone can get using solid fuel engines. Awesome.

It's got the launch tower too!? Cooool...
@grec91775 ай бұрын
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

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.

What did Dave Kovar use for the LoX simulation? Is the Launch Umbilical Tower (LUT) 3D printed?
@petemclinc5 ай бұрын
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?
