Saturn V flies again [Update]

Jeff Foust reports on Twitter that the launch of the giant 1/10 scale model Saturn V in Maryland was a success today. For background info, see the links in the earlier report here. I expect there will be pictures and videos of the launch available by the end of the day.

Congratulations to Steve Eves and his team!

[Update: Robert Pearlman posts a video:

I don't have any photos from the launch, but the crowd was quite impressive! http://dcrocketeer.wordpres...

Would have been nice if the video had shown more of the flight instead of just the initial take-off and landing. It's very impressive that the flight succeeded through all phases.
