We had 46 flights at our club launch today, of which 13 were Saturns. 11 flights were turned in by four of those 1/200 Saturn Vs. All but two of these were on C6-3s and all went well.

I gritted my teeth and put up my just-completed #2157 1/100 Saturn V on an Aerotech E28-4. That went up in a HURRY! All three 'chutes were good and landing damage was minor (one loose fin, cracking at the base of the LES).

And....we had a 1/70 Saturn 1B from the Semroc kit, on a 4-motor cluster of C6s. I gave the owner some Q2G2s since I wanted to see it fly, not crash. That being an effective E24 it also went up in a hurry.

We also had a 1/70 Little Joe II and I put up my V-2 first built for NSL a couple of years ago to maintain the theme.

And we had a flight of a Fliskits Goddard Nell (model of the world's first liquid fuel rocket) which put up a fairly scale-like flight but recovered safely anyway .
