Yeah.. that's awesome George.

I'm just finishing up a 1/132 scale 4 stage Saturn V. (5) BP motor 1st Stage, (5) BP motor 2nd Stage, and (1) BP motor in the 3rd and 4th stage.

It has canted fins on the 1st stage to get the rocket spinning, then the other stages utilize that spin, as well as bass drag, for stability.

I looked at using a teeny BP motor in the LES... but it was too big for the 1/132 scale.
