I couldn't get the Saturn v model, so I built one from scratch 1611077068407.png I had limited supplies so looks kind of crooked.
it's a small rocket so I made it fit an a8-3 motor but I think it might be able to fit a b6-4 or even a c6-5

Launched without clear fins
Not my video.

Edit. To be clear, I was not involved in this video. I saw it on YouTube and posted it

I understand the point of discussion, but I don’t know that this forum should be a vehicle to increase exposure for that channel’s view count and revenue, then we are all actually supporting the behavior we claim to detest. I love irony! I wonder what idiocy he will post next, subscribe and find out!

We call him Wild Bill Flynn because he likes to color outside of the lines. I am GBLynden and am pretty much a stay between the lines kind of guy. No matter what Bill is doing, I need to have my camera rolling or I might miss something epic lol
Yeah that's a hard pass.

You do understand the bit about irony?

Even a thumbs down earns the same revenue for the channel, it’s the views. If I were a moderator, I would be inclined to remove the link to that channel from this forum.
 
Instructions are pretty clear the fins are required for proper flight. Stupid to try it twice, and with flammable kleenex to boot.
 
I accidently stepped on the clear fin unit for my Saturn V. I know its only about $4 from Estes, but the shipping price makes me hesitate to buy a replacement :(

Wait until you have enough for a $50.00 order with Estes for free shipping.
