Details

The Der Red Max rocket model is a classic, fun addition to any rocket enthusiast's collection. With a large stable design, this rocket performs great and reaches heights of over 500 feet with standard engines. Featuring laser cut wood fins for improved performance and a waterslide decal set, including the iconic skull and crossbones, this rocket is a must-have.

You'll need some basic tools and finishing supplies to build it, but the result is a 16-inch tall rocket that looks as good as it flies. To launch Max, you'll need Estes model rocket engines, starters, and recovery wadding, as well as the Estes Porta-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller. Don't forget to grab some AA batteries for the launch controller, and get ready to blast off!

  • SKILL LEVEL: The Der Red Max is an Intermediate level rocket that will help a budding rocketeer develop some basic model building and finishing skills.
  • RECOMMENDED ENGINES: B4-2, B4-4, B6-2, B6-4, C6-5
  • PROJECTED ALTITUDE: 600 ft. (183 m) on a C6-5

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.

I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
