The 36-ft.-tall rocket was the largest amateur rocket ever launched and recovered successfully—and at 1648 pounds, also the heaviest. Eves' single-stage behemoth was powered by nine motors—eight 13,000 Newton-second N-Class motors and a 77,000 Newton-second P-Class motor. (Five Newton-seconds is equivalent to about a pound of thrust.) All told, the array generated enough force to chuck a Volkswagen more than a half-mile—and sent the Saturn V more than 4440 feet straight up. It was arguably the most audacious display of raw power ever generated by an amateur rocket.<br /><br /><br />Weighs a bit more than a Searey.. (though I haven't weighed mine yet)       Attachments:   Going up          Frank A. Carr - Apr 29,2009   Viewers  | Reply     Eric,<br />That is awesome! Certainly beats the old 'Big Bertha' my son and I launched in the late 60's!          Mark Alan MacKinnon - Apr 29,2009   Viewers  | Reply     I built and flew a Big Bertha when I was a teen! Cool rocket. Had a realistic slow blastoff with a small engine in it.          Charles Pickett - Apr 29,2009   Viewers  | Reply     I need one of those in my back yard          Kenneth Leonard - Apr 29,2009   Viewers  | Reply     I hear Iran and North Korea are talking to him about working on their ICBM program...          Matt Tucciarone - Apr 30,2009   Viewers  | Reply     I can't believe the thing landed right up. This brings back some Estes rocket memories from my youth.          Eric Batterman - Apr 30,2009   Viewers  | Reply     I remember some fun times launching an Estes rocket with the clear payload compartment. The mouse survived!
