Only one flight thus far on my Mega Max. This is a surprisingly low lever flyer. I could probably fly it at B6-4 Field, but the proximity to US 27 scares me. If I get the opportunity, this is going to be my L1 bird. It's built like a tank.

Most impressive ability to stick to a theme I've seen. Bravo, I would have Max'd out after a couple ...

Here is my one and only Max so far, the Double Mini Max. I double dare you to do one like this, maybe doubled in size?

I've got a set of Sandman's decals for a regular Max, I really ought to build another.

I took it to the club launch last Sunday. I also took WAY too many rockets. Flew some old motors to see if I should keep the rest of their packs. Having them stored in a cool dry basement for 25 years is the secret to using old motors.

Once my grandkids showed up, we flew the their Sizzlers several times each. (Now I fully understand the appeal of the Estes RTF kits.). It got a little windy, and I still had not flown my Estes V-2 (BT-80) with micro buttons off my MakerBeam rail. When it calmed, I flew it, and had a perfect flight and recovery. Then it was near closing time so I packed it in.

I've decided I better fly the Double Mini Max first thing at the next club launch. I"m anxious to see how well it flies. I did sim it in Open Rocket and it was fine.

Geez, I haven't even had a sniff of BP since November. As for the RTF stuff, I pick them up occasionally when they're cheap. They make for decent flying and if they get snagged I'm not too emotionally involved. Funny how they never seem to get snagged. With those big fins on the DMM I can't imagine it would be anything but stable. Pretty small and light, so it would get off the rod with a pretty good kick.
