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.

Beautiful fall day, cool temps and near calm winds on t' field. Great boost, straight, fast and high. Stallin' out, matey, just startin' t' arc over at ejection. Good chute at apogee, long time comin' down. Minimal drift, stuck t' landin' in some short brush next t' t' field with no damage.
