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.

Biggest motor I've flown t' date in t' Mega Pink Max. Awesome boost, straight and fast off t' pad on a big red flame, me bucko, t' "colored motors are definitely more visually impressive t' larger they are. Could see t' rocket movin' in t' wind at altitude after motor burnout, shiver me timbers, Arcin' over near t' top o' t' climb, just disappearin' into t' bottom o' t' cloud deck. Heard t' ejection charge and smartly picked up t' rocket under chute. Long time comin' down, rocket stayed on t' field but it be a long walk t' recover. No damage. I had a Jolly Logic Altimeter Two on-board, arrr, but forgot t' power it up at t' pad so I guess I'll need t' fly this motor again.
