Thank you Jim, Thirsty, Samb and Kuririn.
Here are a couple of pictures of my Titan IV. Plastic ketchup cups for the nozzles. 24MM motor. 32 in tall.

I thought about doing a Skylab Saturn Charles. I did not know where to get the 3rd stage tube (on the Apollo) and a nose cone to fit, so I just build the standard. Were did you get your nosecone and tube? Did you make it yourself?
You should have seen my face when I looked at your launch. I'm glad it made it back safe and sound. I'm a little worried about my Saturn. Thank you Charles!
Hello Samb. I read your reply. All the pictures look straight on my computer but when I load them in 'Rocketry Forum' they turn sideways. Even when I forward them to friends etc, they are all straight and not sideways. Wonder what this program is doing to them. I recenly finished a titan ii and here's a quick image. I'm 49 with a wife and no kids so I have free time!
I love E9 motors, but I would never trust a rocket that big and heavy to them. That makes the D12 and E12 highly suspect given your rocket weight and size. I also recommend you look at something in the E20 or E30 range. That F44 in the video had a little too much kick for my taste for a showcase rocket.
Here’s an example of a low thrust Saturn V flight. E15-4. Mine isn’t quite stock - I put a Skylab on top, rather than the SIVB with CSM - but it happens to weigh the same as the stock kit (with all the clay that comes with it). I don’t have that weight handy. A club launch, so a nice long rod.

Estes replaced the tubes, the upper wrap and the wood. That left me with a what-to-do about the big transition. Then I remembered that I'm a CAD guy, so I pulled some drawings, modeled it and sent it off to Shapeways...Oh Phill. That is such a shame...
