Thumbs up Large Model Rocket Launch

One of my other hobbies is High Powered Rockets.
A fellow rocketeer I meet many years ago, launched and recovered the largest model rocket to date. His name is Steve Eves. I tip my hat to a job well done.
Below is link to a video of his launch.

YouTube - Steve Eve's Record Setting Saturn V Launch - April 25, 2009 - Steve Eve Saturn 5

Thought some of you wood get a kick out of his successful project.

Re: Large Model Rocket Launch

Steve Eves hails from Ohio.
I wish I had been a member of his team, but I can not claim to be.
I do not recall a rocketeer who's father was nick-named Rocky.

Re: Large Model Rocket Launch

Steve lives in my neck of the woods in Lake TWP., Ohio. Even though I don't know him, he had the rocket displayed at the Hartville Marketplace last year. Talk about a huge rocket. He did a fabulous job building it at 1/10th scale. I only wish I had been there to see it take off as the video really doesn't do it any justice.

Here's a couple of stories from the local paper on him:
