Estes upscaled Red Max Pro Series II kit. Added an eyebolt to the top centering ring and replaced the shock cord with 20 feet of braided Kevlar. Added some balsa "dams" to the motor mount which allowed me to pot the TTW fin tabs in epoxy where they attached to the motor mount. Currently using a kevlar heat shield and a 30 inch Spherachute for recovery. Rocket was initially flown "nekkid", but final colors will be pink with a purple nosecone and "Der Pink Max" decals from Stickershock.

First flight of NARAM 61. Trying out one of the new Aerotech Disposable Motor System (DMS) loads. Pretty much a perfect flight, nice straight sparky boost, arcing into the wind as it slowed. Stalled out flat, holding nose into the wind and just hung there for a second until the ejection charge went off. Good deployment, and descent followed by a good chute release at 500’. Landed on the field, no damage
