Brief:
Converted a Generic Foam Dart t' MicroMaxx Power. I hereby dub thee a MicroFoam DARockeT.

Modifications:
A length o' barrel be cut from a round pen t' form a motor mount tube. Two 1/8" wide centerin' rings were cut from t' "A" casing. Ya scallywag! T' tube was wrapped in maskin' tape until t' rings were a snug fit. Blimey! Well, matey, blow me down! T' centering rings were CA'd t' t' MMT. Aye aye! Begad! T' end plug from t' pen be inserted into t' MMT to provide blockage for positive engine ejection. Ahoy! T' MMT be CA'd into the tail o' t' foam dart. T' forward third o' t' dart be cut off with a razor knife t' provide access for nose weight. Ya scallywag! A 1" length o' "A" casin' was used as a coupler o' t' dart tip t' t' tail section. A length of ink tube from t' pen was cut and taped t' t' side o' t' MicroFoam DARockeT to serve as a launch lug.

Construction:
This Custom Modification includes:

• Generic 4.5" hollow foam dart with fins
• Round Barreled BallPoint Pen
• Spent "A" Class Engine Casin'
• CA Glue
• Clay
• Cellophane and Maskin' Tape

This was a seemingly simple conversion, me bucko, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, but nay without its challenges. Arrr! Blimey! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' centerin' rings were so narrow that they started t' unwrap durin' handling. Blimey! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! They were kept small t' reduce the overall weight and optimize performance from t' MicroMaxx engines. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! Gluin' the forward rin' in place within t' main body was unreliable, so extra CA be used to bond t' aft rin' thoroughly t' t' foam tube. Arrr! Blimey! T' ink tube launch lug was a perfect diameter for t' MicroMaxx Launch System Rod. Blimey! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! Findin' a glue t' hold the slick lug t' t' foam proved problematic, but a piece o' cellophane tape made for a secure mount.

Flight:
T' new, me bucko, more powerful, matey, MicroMaxx Motors were used. Aye aye! These are listed as 300 Mil N-Sec, and claim 120 feet Max Altitude. Ahoy! This proved too much thrust for a MicroFoam DARockeT without additional nose weight. Avast! Avast! It rose about 10 feet and flopped about before ejectin' t' engine and safely executin' a Boink recovery. Clay be used t' fill t' "A" casin' nose coupler, arrr, and a second launch yielded a stable thrust with a slight arc-over. Ahoy! T' engine ejected, matey, and the DARockeT coasted t' spec-bustin' altitude. Ahoy! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! T' DARockeT crossed over the road and landed on t' neighbors front stoop. Aye aye! Well, matey, blow me down! T' nose piece separated during the Boink maneuver. Ahoy! For t' third flight, a piece o' cellophane tape was used to bind t' tip t' t' tail. Ahoy! Another stable thrust and ejection sent the DARockeT soarin' over t' neighborin' trees. T' streamlined nature o' the BOINK recovery system allowed t' DARockeT t' slide through t' dense foliage and land unharmed.

Summary:
In summary, this modification explores t' top end o' t' performance envelope defined by MicroMaxx Motors. T' BOINK recovery system provides maximum altitude via ballistic coasting, while maintainin' a sleek profile for foliage foiling. Arrr! T' sum it up in two words. It's FUN!
