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.

Great flight from the Mega Pink Max! Straight and fast off the rail, lots of Oohs and Aahs from the crowd. Arcing into the wind during coast, just Past apogee and pointing down at ejection. Good separation, wind taking it back across the flight lin. Good chute release at 500 feet. Landed in the scrub brush well behind the flight line, no damage.
