Matthew Bond's Estes Mega Der Red Max
Manufacturer:Estes
Diameter:4.0000 inches
Length:40.0000 inches
Skill Level:3
Style:Sport, Upscale

Estes upscaled Red Max Pro Series II kit.  The second of two Mega Red Max kits that I bought.  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.  Flown using a Kevlar heat shield and a 30 inch Spherachute with a Jolly Logic Chute Release for recovery.  Rocket was finished in the "classic" red and black paint scheme with the Estes waterslide decals.  I was unable to get the large wrap decal applied (twice, since I had a spare) tearing both of them.  I was able to order a vinyl replacement from Mark at Stickershock and it went on perfectly as expected.
