FlisKits Saturn 1B Model Rocket Kit

The Saturn 1B was NASA's test vehicle for the Apollo moon program. It was used to test the major components of the Apollo lunar landing program. Later it was used to ferry astronauts to the US's first space station, Skylab.

Although Fliskits's new 1:282 scale Saturn IB is small, it's incredibly detailed - more detailed and accurate than most larger scale models. The instructions allow you to choose whether to build it as a Skill Level 3 (advanced), Skill Level 4 (expert), or Skill Level 5 (master) kit. Built at Skill Level 5 this design is a proven winner. Jay Marsh used it to win First Place at the national meet (NARAM) back in the early 1990s.

  • Skill Level: Choose 3, 4, or 5
  • Recovery: Parachute
  • Decals: Silk-screened water slide decals
  • Length: 9.316 in
  • Diameter: 0.976 in
  • Fin Span: 1.732 in
  • Weight: 1.01 oz

Recommended Motors: 1/2A6-2T, A3-4T, A10-3T

Notes:

  • This kit includes components to assemble a removable Fin Unit for stability. It is possible to make this model stable with the scale fins with the addition of Nose Weight (NOT included).
  • IMPORTANT: The instructions for this kit imply the inclusion of Nose Weight. A last minute decision was made to remove the nose weight from this kit requiring the builder to supply their own ballast material. You will need about 19 grams of weight. We have found that small lead beads (shot) work well.
  • This kit includes a launch lug for standard pad use. This kit is also suitable for use with a Pop Lug (NOT provided) or a Piston Launcher (NOT provided)
  • This kit provides 3 different methods of building a Launch Escape Tower.
    1. Easy (Skill Level 3): A printed paper wrap with the tower drawn on it is cut out, folded and attached to the nose cone.
    2. Hard (Skill Level 4): Plastic rods are provided to be cut and glued into a replica of the tower (total of 45 parts)
    3. Master (Skill Level 5): Instead of plastic rods, you can use two different gauges of nickel plated wire (NOT provided) and solder up a tower under a magnifier.
