2024年4月23日 · I designed and printed 3D parts for some vintage Estes scale models; parts I couldn't find elsewhere. I'm preparing to build the Estes Saturn V Skylab. Since this is a newer model, I'm seeing some available parts...

2017年10月11日 · I darted my Saturn V yesterday and would like to make it in to a nonflying rocket with a Skylab top. The main tube and upper stages just have too much structural damage to try to make it flyable. I've searched the innerweb and can find an bunch of posts, some all the way back to 2004 talking about people turning them for folks, and Sandman's ...

2017年5月7日 · Opened the box to check off all the parts and read the instructions. The motor is recessed over 3" into the body tube. Why? Wild guess: to move the CG forward somewhat, perhaps? If it was even with the aft end of the BT they'd have to add even more nose weight for stability. The box says an...

2022年8月14日 · The BT58 tube for the service module is a hard tube to get and wasn't available on Estes (yes I know it's available elsewhere), and I still needed the styrene engine shrouds. And finally, I really wanted to upgrade this to a 29mm motor mount like the Saturn V/Skylab model has but the #2157 only ever came with a 24mm mount.

2021年10月7日 · I have an extra Estes Saturn V Skylab (main body tube is a bit squished), but the Skylab vs Apollo doesn't much matter here. What I want to do, because I can (try), is modify it to be a cluster of 5 (probably 18mm), gap cluster them to a second stage with another 5 (also probably 18mm), and stage that to 1 motor in the 3rd stage.

2020年12月12日 · I’m finally getting around to building the kit I purchased over year ago. The recommended engines are E16 and F15. I’m thinking of upgrading the engine mount to handle G engines which will require cutting the 100mm tube somewhere above above the height of the engines to insert an extra...

2013年3月27日 · So, the Estes Apollo 11 Saturn V is likely to generate a degree of interest perhaps not seen before for a model rocket kit (with the possible exception of the Estes 1/45 scale Little Joe II). Let's use this thread to share any wisdom gleaned from previous kits and during the process so that...

2024年11月15日 · Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has built the Estes Saturn V 1967 and used it w Quest Engines? I'd like to get above the 350 max feet altitude they specify and am hoping Quest Engines may do that since they're more powerful. Thanks!
