Overview

The Der Big Red Max rocket has been a classic favorite for years, and now you can experience it in a smaller 3-inch diameter version! Here are some of the key features and benefits:

  • Long slow lift-offs. The Red Max is known for its impressive liftoffs, and the smaller 3-inch diameter version delivers the same performance. Imagine 3.5 seconds of smoke and fury on an Estes F15-4 motor!
  • Fun to build. Building the Red Max is just as fun as flying it. The rocket features thru-the-wall fins that make assembly and alignment easy, while also giving it extra strength.
  • Durable construction. With its sturdy design, the Red Max can withstand multiple launches, so you can fly it over and over again.
  • Special parachute. Only Red Max rockets come with their own special printed Skull & Bones 18 inch parachute. Thus, adding to the rocket's unique and fun design.

Whether you're an experienced rocket enthusiast or a beginner, the Red Max rocket is a great choice for your next launch.

This kits tests the limits of available Estes motors. I

This kits tests the limits of available Estes motors. I was concerned about the flex of the fins, so I reinforced them with paper covers--much better. Otherwise a straightforward kit at the Advanced level. Would not recommend this kit for people without 10-12 kits under their belt. Through the wall fins mean that centering rings don't need to be anything more than cardstock-flight loads borne by fins. Good lightweight design for the recommended motors.

Nice up-scale to a favorite! Only downside are the "decals"

Nice up-scale to a favorite! Only downside are the "decals" Never been a fan of peel and stick. For the $, waterslide would be great. Still a cool rocket! For those who can't figure out the decal placement, or building the fins, must have missed the "Advanced" rating. Good Job, Estes!
