Estes upscaled Red Max Pro Series II kit. Added an eyebolt to the top centering ring and replaced the shock cord with 20 feet of braided Kevlar. Added some balsa "dams" to the motor mount which allowed me to pot the TTW fin tabs in epoxy where they attached to the motor mount. Currently using 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.

Another great flight from this rocket. Nice smooth, high boost. Arcing over at apogee, more or less horizontal at ejection. Rocket descended under the Jolly Logic Chute Release, which released the chute on cue at 500 feet. Stuck the landing on the field in the soft dirt.
