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.

Great flight o' t' Mega Pink Max! Awesome boost, me bucko, super fast and straight off t' rail on a beautiful red flame. Stallin' out at apogee, just tippin' over at ejection. Good separation, rocket movin' bit with t' wind at altitude. Jolly Logic chute release did its thin' at 400 feet and t' rocket landed on t' field with no damage. Shock cord was extremely twisted but it didn't seem t' affect t' chute release at all.
