Sounds cool. I have a 3xMMX cluster rocket that I ignited using a flashpan technique. Please post a launch report on your Skeeter! Dick Stafford TRA #06578...
Dick: Doesn't the Flash Pan pretty much burn-up the business end of you rocket? Look at what those guys did to the 27 mosquitos in SR this month, now that was...
John, The flashpan technique isn't the best. The way I did it localized the powder to the motor area and I used a skosh of metal tape to protect the tube...
Dick: You lost me..What rocket exemption of BP? and what do you mean shortly? John ... the powder to the motor area and I used a skosh of metal tape to ...
As of May, you will need a LEUP or LUP to buy, use, store BP, APCP, etc. even if acquired and used in-state. There is an effort to get rocket propellant,...
Dick: That's interesting, I assume this pertains to loose BP, as BP model rocket motors are exempt from this junk. you also mentioned igniters, does that...
BP 'D' and below motors are and will be exempt. It is commonly thought that AP motors under 62.5g will also continue to be exempt. I think the BP used in...
Thanks Dick: Your correct that is more than I wanted to know:) I hope it doesn't kill the hobby for all of us. You didn't mention the igniter situation. Man...
Other than roll your own vendors, http://www.quickburst.net/ is about the only contact I have. They make an ematch that can be used in many BP motors. I had...
Hi I'm new to this group (and to MMX) and was wondering if anyone has done some night launches with MMX motors and possibly has photos? I've been building the...
Welcome to the group! Make sure you check out the files and photos section. I don't remember hearing of a MMX night launch. I'm sure mrcluster will chime in....
Welcome Mike: Glad to have you with us in the MMX group. As a matter of fact The First model rocket flown in the New Millennium was a Night launched Micro...
Welcome to the group. I have flown a variation of my BiC Stic rocket with a clear body and a 1.5 inch long glow stick at a night launch at Hearne, Texas a few...
Art: That blue saucer is Pretty Cool! Humm!.. I may have to buy a frosty or something that comes with a clear dome top:) Looks like a case to be Micronized AH...
John, Walgreens sells ladies stockings in a clear plastic "egg" about 1.5" in diameter for about $.059. Add a motor tube and poke a hole for the launch lug...
I created an album in the photos area and uploaded a few pics, both new and old. Dick Stafford TRA #06578 L2, MDRA NAR #47992 SR L2, NARHAMS Keeper of EMRR's...
I got a question for you guys. Do you make fillets on the fins for these small guys? I know I do on bigger stuff, but do Micro-Maxx's need it? What do you use?...
Jfelts13: on most of my micros yes I do fillet the fins, I use two different methods depending on the tube size and fin material. A) .281" and .375" dia tubes...
Dick: I really enjoyed looking at your new photo album, Ya really gotta change the name to "Dick's Pic's":D I especially liked the paper XL5, Airship, and the...
Hi, Thought I would introduce myself. My name is Mike Garrett and I am a Micro Maxxaholic. ... Oops, wrong group. I discovered these little gems a few months...
Welcome Aboard Mike! Glad to have you. Things have been a little quiet around here the last month or so. I'm sure things will pick-up as spring, and other...
I just recently bought a pack of MicroMaxx motors from Walmart. I used Apogee components small 10.5 mm tubes for the body and sanded down my own balsa nose...
Clive: some estes igniters will work in MMX motors but the tiny nozzles make it difficult to find igniters that will fit. You can certainly use the Quest...
Clive, Go for it. I take the plastic halves off the Micro Maxx igniters and use the end of a pointed tooth pick to hold it in place in the back of the motor....
OK - so I am getting closer to understanding this. I will take a look at some of the plans. As Art suggested, I was thinking of using the MM igniters, only...
