http://www.nar.org/SandT/NARenglist.shtml The end is near for MicroMaxx I-1 motors. No end in sight for MicroMaxx II-1 motors. -Fred Shecter NAR 20117...
Tim, As Fred showed with the link, FlisKits has the MMX II-1 motors and they'll be around for a while :) jim On Wed, 01 Aug 2007 15:32:30 -0000, tim callender...
No, they are not motors with a roman 2-second delay time (the number after the dash in ALL motors is the delay time). They are MicroMaxx II-1 motors also known...
1) You must use a powerful launch control system that can deliver a huge amount of current x voltage to the igniters. I suggest a 12 volt system using a car...
Donald: You need two things: 1) a reliable ignition system (I use a 12volt car charger system hooked up to my launcher) 2) reliable igniters. I use the Quest...
Don: The surest way is to use pyrogen tipped igniters, either find a couple Estes Solar igniters that will fit into the MMX-II motor nozzle or use Quest Q-2's....
Better describes as Cat. #5663 motors. that how to tell for sure which Micro Maxx Motor your buying #5662 are the older brown plastic casing MMX-1, .20nS...
Donald, All the methods mentioned so far are good but there is another method that is sometimes used to start big clusters called Flashpan Ignition. The...
Fred, I might take comfort in you "No end in sight" comment but from what I have witnessed from the current NAR leadership, it is neither farSIGHTed or...
You can make/modify your own igniters to use. The type of pyrogen needed for ignition of BP motors is not the same as that needed for the HPR stuff. As...
You cannot use black powder in this method without an LEUP from the BATFE. Please do not encourage people to violate federal explosives laws and regulations...
... Yes, it has the effect of annoying everyone who has to listen to it. The old motor program is in place to confirm what we all know, old motors don't fail...
I know 2 people with a load of old motors and I'll check into the possibility of them helping. but first I have to go look up the Old Motor Program info for...
... Here's a link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NAR_Sections/message/8557 -- Bill Spadafora http://home.att.net/~billspad or http://www.billsplumbing.com or ...
Bill: Teds can't be giving you the total story then Narhams as flown over 150 old motors in 3 scheduled launches. I'm not sure how may other "clubs" have...
... Just as an aside, I think that you may have cornered the market on those motors, John (the so-called MicroMaxx I-1, i.e., the brown ones). I haven't heard...
... I got a few packages stashed away. At my current rate of flying I expect to have them for a while. -- Bill Spadafora http://home.att.net/~billspad or ...
... He was probably exaggerating but I know he hasn't gotten as many as he hoped. I believe the OOP program is one of the topics for the Board meeting this...
Quest still has quite a few according to Bill the last time I ask for them they had just "re-discovered" more of the old motors in one of the storage sheds....
... Thanks, John - that's good news. I'll be getting ready to place an order soon...8^) I have been interested in getting some of these motors ever since you ...
... Not only do the older MMX I's have a longer delay (1.07 secs. vs. 0.89 secs. for the MMX II's), but they also have about double the burn time (1.23 secs....
This message is rated "PG-13". I still have a couple of dozen MM-I motors in my range box. As John has said, MM-1's are better than MM-II's for certain types...
... I guess this sort of blindsighted me. My concern as an RSO is that the average person not familiar with these motors will not know the difference between...
Bob: My last purchase DIRECT for quest was 02-11-2006. I purchased a CASE 12-8packs of #5662 motors. What difference does it make when they were last sold? ...
Fred, That may be your interpretation of the laws but Flash Pan ignition has been a common practice for cluster ignition since before electrical igniter were ...
Art: Not to beat a dead horse, or be accused of piling on, but its comments like those you just spouted the keep many from voting you on the NAR board. We...
