Found this on the National Space Society blog page.  See link below. At 1/10th scale, the Saturn V is 36 feet tall.  He is hoping to get into the record books as flying the largest model rocket in history.  He is hoping to reach 3 to 4,000 feet in altitude with this monster.
I'm rooting for his success.
UPDATE:  April 30, 2009.  It's Flown!  Check out the New Scientist.com website for the YouTube video.
