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.

First flight o' NARAM 61. Ahoy! Tryin' out one o' t' new Aerotech Disposable Motor System (DMS) loads. Ya scallywag! Pretty much a perfect flight, nice straight sparky boost, arcin' into t' wind as it slowed. Blimey! Stalled out flat, holdin' nose into t' wind and just hung thar for a second until t' ejection charge went off. Well, blow me down! Good deployment, and descent followed by a good chute release at 500’. Ahoy! Landed on t' field, me hearties, no damage
