Thanks,

Well, after posting my Micro Hustler, I decided that I wanted to design something impressive to go with the 10mm motors. The first rocket that came to mind was the Saturn V, so after about 2 hours of designing (4:00 -> 5:50), it was finished. The resulting model is based on the ST-16 body tube, and flies on a cluster of FIVE 10mm motors. Since I couldn't accurately represent the shrouds around the base of the body in RockSim, I substituted ST-7 and ST-4 sized tube (but if this were to be built they would be paper or balsa parts). Other than that, it's as accurate as I could make it (including an escape tower ).

The 10mm Saturn V
Scale: 1/245.5

Length: 17.3225"
Diameter: 1.64"
Fin Span: 3.08"
Weight: 2.7451 oz (with noseweight)

(5x) 1/2A2-5 . . . . . . 470' . . . . . . . Dv 7.21 FPS . . . . . . 36" launch rod

*On the actual model, the S-II, S-IVB, SM and CM would come down horizontally on one parachute, and the S-IC first stage would come down on it's own parachute as well, which should help the descent rate and prevent damage to the upper stages.

Well, here it is:
