With enough supplies for four complete launches, you can spend less time shopping for extras and more time enjoying repeat flights, experimenting with engine choices, and sharing launch day excitement.

Big Flights in a Compact Package

Powered by 13 mm engines, the Mini Der Red Max can soar up to 300 feet, delivering thrilling liftoffs and easy tracking from ignition to recovery. Its lightweight design and streamer recovery system help ensure smooth descents and quick turnarounds between flights.

These shorter recovery walks make it especially well suited for smaller fields and first time flyers who want confident, successful launches.

Built for Learning, Built for Fun

Laser cut balsa wood fins provide hands on building experience while keeping the rocket light and responsive in flight. The Mini Der Red Max encourages skill building, confidence, and curiosity with every launch.

Whether you are launching solo or sharing the experience with family and friends, this starter set delivers classic Estes excitement in a size that is easy to build, easy to fly, and hard to put down.
