Estes Der Big Red Max Unboxing

The Estes Red Max family of sport model rocket kits first appeared in 1971. In this unboxing video, we take a close look at the newest member of the line, and discuss possible building and flying plans.

Excellent box opening description!

I have an original 4" kit that was never opened. I collected it because I knew that Estes would not make those for very long. Glad I did!

I’ve just received my Der Big Red Max. I’m looking forward to building and assembling the rocket. I have only a couple years experience building rockets, all from Estes, but look forward to the challenge. My son and I really love flying them! Thanks for the unboxing.

My all time favorite rocket since I was a kid, I have scratch built many variations. Great job on the video, I don't make comments often, well done.

I like that the kit comes in a box and coming around to vinyl graphics. Think the parachute is a nice upgrade!

Estes should do a Sprint and or HiBex kits, they would have to be really light weight with a short duration and high thrust.
