Rocket Launch 06/07 /25

One Cato of a C6 motor today

We were able to get in a launch before the afternoon thunder storms rolled in. The temperature was just above 90 degrees but the wind made in bearable, with the aid of Joe’s pop-up canopy. As always, we had a great time flying rockets.

Smaller version of Estes’ classic Der Red Max kit. It has a balsa nose cone, waterslide decals, streamer recover and is powered by Estes 13mm Mini Motors. It can reach altitudes in excess of 300 feet. As designed, recovery is accomplished with the included streamer. The Mini Max has all the great looks of the classic version, right down to the really cool decals.
