Thinking about far-out fun? Think of Der Red Max Model Rocket! An Estes classic, the Der Red Max has a large stable design, giving great sport performance. A great addition to any rocket collection!

The Der Red Max model rocket is a classic that not only looks good, but also performs as good as it looks and has a personality all its own!

Standing just a tad over 16 inches tall, the Max is one of our rockets that's a must have in your rocket arsenal. Not to mention, every launch with our standard engines will give you stellar flights over 500 feet. To top it off, a colorful 18 inch parachute accomplishes the recovery for safe landings.

In addition to retaining all of the great looks and flying qualities of the original, this new version now features laser cut wood fins for improved performance and it has a waterslide decal set that replicates the original - including the totally cool skull and crossbones.

Der Fun Max

Clear, concise building instructions. Wonderful flying rocket. Nice slow lift offs you can really enjoy. Love the look of the skull and crossbones parachute as the rocket descends.

Awesome rocket kit!

Everything about this kit was top quality. Remembering my experiences with Estes model rockets in the 1960s, I ordered this and a couple of others for my 12-yesr-old grandson who is studying aeronautics in middle school. He thoroughly enjoyed building and launching his first rockets last weekend and is look forward to more in the future. Der Max was a great project and a really good looking rocket.

Very Reliable Rocket

Great rocket, looks cool and is a stable flier. I have flown it two times so far; once using a B4-4 engine and once using a C6-5. It flew perfectly straight and the recovery system deployed nicely. The skull and crossbones parachute is a nice touch. The Red Max looks great floating down to the ground and even with a C6-5 engine it always landed near the launchpad.
