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 be initially flown "nekkid", but final colors will be pink with a purple nosecone and "Der Pink Max" decals from Stickershock.

Tried twice t' light t' motor on t' away cell with no luck. Moved t' rocket t' t' mid row, still took about 8 seconds o' holdin' t' launch button down t' light t' igniter. Begad! Nice loud sparky boost, matey, arcin' into t' wind durin' t' coast, past apogee and headin' downhill at ejection. Avast! Good chute release at 500’, wind brought it back t' t' low power pads, 30’ from t' LCO. Well, blow me down! Grass landing, no damage.
