000651 - Der Red Max™

Product Review (submitted on February 5, 2011):

I was glad to get and build My Red Max rocket, it was simple, and Intstructions were thorough. My rocket turned out very excellent. My disappointments came when the decals included in the kit, didnt match the cover card pics, and the parachute was supposed to be this neat black one with the jolly-roger skull and cross bones on it, but inside was a very bland pale red chute, with a small card enclosed with an apology, and some excuse about government regulaions pertaining to the printing of plastic parahutes, Sad, because my son was looking forward to the pirate looking P'chute. I have since ordered a few of the nice Checkerboard printed parachutes to replace that ugly substituted one. I was also disappointed that this rocket was scaled down to a C-engine, I remember this rocket from my own schooldays, and it , along with the very Cool 'Goblin' rocket were the BEST of the D-engined, Large tube / Short bodied rockets there were. LIke to see some of the older designs brought back Afterall, thats were Estes got going in the firstplace, Since there are limited rockets of any character, in the Estes line these dyas, I have been shopping with other Rocket makers
