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.

Day 2 o' Southern Thunder 2017. Arrr! Pretty stiff beeze blowin' perpendicular t' t' flight line. Angled t' rail into t' wind and let it rip! Great boost on a big red flame, shiver me timbers, fast off t' rail, angled into t' wind and arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb. Ya scallywag! Past apogee and headed downhill at ejection. Avast! Good chute, long time comin' down, headin' towards t' trees T' whole time. Begad! Seemed t' get hung up in a couple o' thermals as well. Arrr! Long walk t' recover, landed on t' field about 200 feet short o' t' trees, me hearties, no damage.
