$21.99 Der Big Red Max Kit on Amazon
- Thread starter BigMacDaddy
- Start date
Grabbed one. Free shipping too. Thanks for the heads up!
Got the regular and the Mega versions, so it's kind of required to get one of these.

FWIW - you can get the RKT file at Apogee's site -- https://www.apogeerockets.com/Model-Rocket-Kits/Skill-Level-3-Model-Rocket-Kits/Der-Big-Red-Max (I could not find it on rocketreviews for this version).
EDIT: I am happy with 145m height and 15.2m/s off 1.5m rail so might try this with a E12-4.

So folks do not have to search - Pro Der Red Max

When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
That simulation file is a hot mess... wrong nose cone profile, fins aren't correct... yikes.

Profile should be more like this....
(I've changed some internals, added through wall fins, etc. I'd like to build my own "Eddie Ricknebacker" Spad XIII version of this)

Who said individuals cannot move the market 
We all (and FB folks likely as well) pushed the price up to $40+ now so not such a good deal anymore...

Aw... Nuts... Like I need two more DBRM PSII kits... Ok, so I can now make a DBRM PSII Stock, a 3" upscale of the original DBRM (1977), a 3" upscale of the Omega (K-52P), a 3" upscale of a Goblin, and a 3" upscale of a Maxi Icarus with the kits and nosecones I have. I've also got plans for a 3" upscale of an Omega (K-52) with upscaled Cineroc.

If you look for other sellers on the Amazon listing, you can still order for the lower price.Who said individuals cannot move the market

As of right now, only 2 left in stock, price back up to $40.78! Gotta love Amazon's dynamic inventory and price model!
That is so strange -- the other sellers are Amazon now and the main link above goes to a Hobby Shop with higher prices... I do not understand Amazon's algorithms.

Amazon's own listing is out of stock so the others get priority. But Amazon hasn't adjusted their own price so you can still order for delivery when they restock at the $21.99 price.

Just ordered for march 1st delivery... at the lower price... Sold by Amazon, Ship by Amazon. We'll see if they keep it or cancel the order. (I have had that happen.)
Just snagged one still $21.99

How did you determine the link that would point directly to the appropriate vendor?

I had one in my shopping cart that I had found after editing the original link in the first post.
So, I just copied the link from the one in my cart.
Of course, I'm at the hospital waiting on a CT and can't remember my Amazon password, or any of the necessary passwords to reset it. Hopefully, it will still be available in a couple hours...

Just went there and it was $40.78. They caught their error. Then I followed your link and snagged it for $21.99

Use tsmith1315's link to get the lower price. The price hasn't gone up. The cheaper vendor (Amazon) is just out of stock. But you can pre-order at their price and wait for them to restock.

I just bought three at $21.99. Too good of a deal to pass up.
