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...
We had excellent launch weather for our first flight of our mosquito three engine cluster. The rocket flew straight and attained an altitude of about 40 feet...
Clive, I had pretty miserable luck with the standard MMX igniters and the (lousy) 9V launch control system. Maybe about a 30~40% successful launch rate. It...
Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. My experience with the stack MMX controller is that the contacts that mate with the igniter get crud on them. You...
I agree with Art as far as removing the plastic clips from the MicroMax igniters and inserting the igniter with the small end of a tooth pick holding the...
Launched my first ever micromax rocket today. I used a scratch-built rocket with streamer recovery, prepped the model and even used the toothpick/igniter...
Welcome Aboard Clive! The stock MMX launch rods are .047 x 9", I've been using .049" x 9" and 12" long for regular and downscale models and 18" for gliders....
Art Applewhite's BiC Stick rocket kit uses a different source for launch lugs. Since the rocket is made from a BiC pen, you simply cut a couple 3/8 inch...
Clive, BIG Congrats on your first launch and welcome ot the world of MMX! I have had great luck with a scratch built launch rail, but moreover with launch...
I have exclusively used the ink tube from BiC pens. Dick Stafford TRA #06578 L2, MDRA NAR #47992 SR L2, NARHAMS Keeper of EMRR's Rocksim, CP, and recommended...
Hi Guys, I still havn't managed to launch a Micro Maxx rocket yet since I havn't been able to get the motors but I mail ordered them last week so I should have...
I can't give you actual numbers but I can tell you that the QUEST RTF models don't get much altitude at all. They are heavy and not very aerodynamic. You can...
HI Mike: Art's 3" saucer will get about 20' on a mm-2 motor, Quests 3" all plastic saucer about 12-15 feet. the Bic-Stick, over 70', some of the very light...
Art makes a very good point...the MicroMaxx models from Quest are pretty much backyard fliers and not made for high altitude, although the 3FNC/4FNC models...
Thanks all, I got my MMX motors today so I should be able to finish my MMX saucer tonight and hopefully fly it tommorow. I was pleasently surprised at how easy...
What? Me gasp? One good thing about the heavy models that reach 5-6 ft is they are easy to dodge :-) My last model in this category is my Airship R-100....
Carl, have room for more weight in the NC in that X-15? Mine is full and still could use a skosh more ;-) Dick Stafford TRA #06578 L2, MDRA NAR #47992 SR L2,...
See Dick! this is why I go for the #9 shot. Its so small it gets into the tiny places way up front. That may be what is causing you guys to need additional...
And to think that when I bought my 7 1/2 I thought it was too small. Of course, I hadn't thought of needing it on a MMX X-15! I think the difference in the...
I don't have any screen there. The e-mail sits at the very edge. BAE ... _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam? Get...
Yea, I actually have room and wish I would have read your article earlier in EMRR, but I had mine already built before it posted. I used 1/2 of a 2oz bullet...
I am a bit confused, but will give it a try. I appears what you attached was a digest message containing the daily posts, and which was emailed to your...
