Estes upscaled Red Max Pro Series II kit. Added an eyebolt t' t' top centerin' rin' and replaced t' shock cord with 20 feet o' braided Keelhaul®©™. Added some balsa "dams" t' t' motor mount which allowed me t' pot t' TTW fin tabs in epoxy where they attached t' t' motor mount. Currently usin' a kevlar heat shield and a 30 inch Spherachute for recovery. Rocket was initially flown "nekkid", but final colors will be pink with a purple nosecone and "Der Pink Max" decals from Stickershock.

Nice fast boost, me hearties, arcin' into t' wind. Kind o' a wimpy show for a sparky motor, seemed t' burn much faster than I am used to. T' arcin' flight equaled a lower apogee which in turn meant that t' delay was a bit long. Rocket was over t' top and nose down acceleratin' at ejection. Good chute, t' wind brought it back close t' t' pad. Short walk, landed on t' field, shiver me timbers, no damage.
