Default Hemi Max

Just your standard Estes Mini Max, but with an 18mm motor mount.





The Hemi part of the name not only comes from the oversized engine, but the Hemi Orange Testors paint. This one should be fun at B6-4 Field on an A8-3.

Have someone attempt to video it.

Very nice work on that BTW.

When I built mine, I had to extend the BT . How did you fit a recovery package in there?

It's just a small Mylar streamer. It's a tight fit.

I would think you could get away with just using break-a-part recovery.
On most of my smaller rockets, I only use a streamer to aid in tracking and recovery for my poor old eyes.

For complicated reasons I've ended up with a Der Mini Pink Max decal set from Excelsior Rocketry. I may now have to make one of these in pink.
