Estes Saturn V Launch

This is an Estes kit #2001. It is a 1/100 scale model of the iconic Saturn V launch vehicle. I've had this kit for over 30 years, but didn't have the confidence to build and launch it until now. Altogether this rocket took 5 weeks to build. The engine used was a D12-3. Shortly after apogee I rotated my phone camera 90 degrees to keep the two descending sections in view, so apologies that it's disorienting. The lower section has two parachutes, but only one opened. Fortunately the rocket was recovered with no damage. If you look carefully shortly after ejection you will see the last quarter moon sweep by. It isn't the greatest camera recording, but I hope you enjoy the video.
