This is a great Zooch kit and a must have for any rocket enthusiast.
A great flyer with Estes B6-4 and C6-5 engines.
Don't use a Quest C engine in it! It will be on the ground before the ejection charge fires!
Lessons learned in this build:
1. Double check the lower end diameter on the large adapter before gluing on the card stock wrap. On this build there is a wide step down to the main BT-60 tube.
2. Cut the fairings a hair smaller so the black outside border lines won't show on the finished model.
3. Don't just cut the launch lug in two - cut the lug to the width of the wraps the lug will glue onto.
This was my second Dr. Zooch Saturn V. I knew what to expect this time around and spent more time getting a better fit of the fairings. Most details parts were better formed and the second short tunnel was added to the stage four section.
Like I mentioned, this model will probably end up being a shelf queen.
I'll continue to fly my first Zooch Saturn V.
