Hmmmmm, the 9th already and no entries? What, no one has a red or partially/mostly red rocket?:confused2: Hard to believe! But anywho, I will get the ball rolling...Once again!:roll:

I present to you my Wildman Jr rocket! It is , of course, a Wildman kit, from that awesome vendor dude named Tim out of Illinois! It is powered by a variety of 38mm loads and actually flies pretty darn good on some 29mm loads as well! I have flown mine on a variety of H's and I motors, with the highest altitude of just shy of 3400'..Awesome kit to put together, and I want to publicly thank Don Ball(dlb) for making the snazzy vinyl decals on it!

So, I have shown mine, let's see yours!
Will upload a picture showing the decals later today..They look nice, but a little bit flight 'tattered' on a couple of the fins)..

My 4" Der Red Max is the best rocket. PML sold me a kit based on Joe Michel's plans that were published in a Thor newsletter. Mark at Stickershock tweaked the decals per my request and added the "X882" marking. All I did was glue it together and paint it. Its had 2 flights on an I200 and 1 flight on a H268. Thanks to Marty Wiggins of SEARS for the picture.

Here is my American Solar Clipper it is a 4" dia rocket with a 3" motor hole. Tubes are glassed with 2 layers of 8 oz glass and also has 2 layers of 8 oz glass tip to tip. The colors are red, white and blue. Decals where done by Mark at stickershock. This has flown on three K700BBs and two K800BB so far and I have a L666SK for it's next flight.
