DER RED MAX (EST0651)

Der Red Max Model Rocket Kit is a beloved classic from Estes, cherished for its unique design and exceptional performance. This model stands just over 16 inches tall and features laser cut balsa fins that enhance its flying capabilities. With its long, ballistic-shaped nose cone and stubby fins, the rocket is not only visually striking but also built for impressive altitude, reaching up to 550 feet.

The rocket is equipped for safe recovery with a vibrant 18-inch preassembled parachute, ensuring gentle landings with every launch. Notably adorned with water slide decals that replicate the original design, including a distinctive skull and crossbones, this model adds personality to any rocket collection. The Der Red Max is suitable for beginners and recommended for ages 10 and up, although adult supervision is advised for younger builders.

For optimal flights, the Der Red Max requires construction tools, finishing materials, an Estes launch system, and engines, all sold separately. Compatible engines include B6-2, B6-4, and C6-5, making it a versatile choice for hobbyists ready to take their rocketry to new heights.
