I built this last fall, still waiting on weather for first flight:
The pictures sort of tell the story. I wanted to build another Max, this one different than stock. I used a triple 18mm cluster, when TTW with the fins, and added some weight to the nose so that the margin with engines installed was similar to stock. Decals are from StickerShock23. One other change was use of an 18" ripstop nylon parachute (in green, natch). But decent rate was a bit slow for the standard rocket on an 18", so I added a 5" spill hole. This should go a bit higher than my stock Max, and I don't want to chase it downwind any farther than I have to...
