Review: Payer trop cher pour la livraison mais en excellent états - Facile d'assemblage
Review: Fun rocket but not great for impatient people - This rocket is great and looks awesome once completed. I got this to build with my kids but the actual assembly was a little more than my 11yr old could handle. If you're impatient, not great at crafts, or have previous experience with model rockets you might want to look into a easier build rocket. This rocket isn't hard to build it just takes awhile. I went cheap with the paint so my rocket looks nothing like the colors in the ad for it. I attempted to make it hot pink and black. I primered the whole thing black first and when the pink went on it bled into the black making a blood red color. The rocket still looks cool a dark red with pink accents. The thing launches fantastic and comes down pretty softly. I launched it with b4-4 engines and they are too small in my opinion. The rocket doesn't go high enough to give the rocket time to open the parachute properly. I'd recommend a B6-2 or B6-4 engine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The classic rocket still available! Cool looking and a great flyer.
*by J***N on 31 May 2017*

ALMOST exactly the same as I remember from the 80's. It's been upgraded slightly: Parachute now has a skull motif and it arrives ready to go, with the guy lines already connected to the chute (no more applying the little sticky dots yourself..). This is the classic small rocket that can pack a big engine (C6-5), with a cool set of decals and an easy to paint color scheme (fins are same color as body), the nosecone comes black or can be painted glossy black. Applying the decals is probably the most difficult aspect of the job, there are a lot of them! We painted it red/black and applied about 4 layers of gloss enamel after the decals were dry. It's solid as a rock.. see below. With a stout rocket such as the Red Max, you won't have lots of room in the tube for recovery wadding, parachute, shock cord and nose cone, so you'll have to pack carefully, and don't skimp on that wadding. First flight B engine, perfect. My son skimped a bit on the recovery wadding on it's 2nd flight with a C6-5, perfect launch, at apex...poof...no parachute. So the charge melted the parachute and the nose cone popped off, but no chute deployed. Falling/tumbling down from ~600 feet onto grass, with no parachute: zero damage sustained to rocket (other than the parachute..). A must have for any collection.
