Man, I can't believe these things are still around! I have Big Bertha laying up in the attic. Sadly I haven't gotten to fire them off in many many years. Nice shot btw.

This one only has one large C-6-5 engine, but there are many others with multi-stage launch systems. I believe there is Saturn V available from Estes thats 3 feet tall and uses massive engines.
