SNEAK PEEK 👀
Rocketdyne F-1 looking good!

Before Starship, there was the Rocketdyne F-1. Still one of the most impressive engines ever built. It powered the first stage (S-IC) of the Saturn V.

Each engine produced about 1.5 million pounds of thrust, 😳 and there were 5 engines per rocket lifting astronauts to the Moon during Apollo program.

🚀 Great design always starts with great research. 🤓

Artemis 2 is HOME! Now it’s your turn…

The Max Q Rockets SLS 1:100 Scale Model Rocket has been a favorite among serious rocketeers for years — over 4 feet tall, loaded with scale detail, and an incredibly accurate flyable replica of the real SLS that just powered Artemis 2.

And now it supports clustered motors!

That’s right — this popular kit has just been upgraded. You can still fly it with a single powerful motor OR cluster multiple motors for even more realistic thrust, bigger smoke trails, and the kind of spectacular liftoff that turns heads at every launch. Whether you’re running a 1 or 3 motor cluster, your SLS is now ready for the kind of performance that truly matches the real thing. 🤓

Guess what I’ve started working on… 🤓

Should I keep going?
