Brief:
T' MMA-2 is an adapter from LOC t' enable t' use o' 29mm motors in 38mm mounts. Mine came with me LOC Cyclotron. Begad! Had I known it was present, ya bilge rat, I probably would have started construction o' this rocket sooner.
Construction:
Construction o' t' adapter began with markin' t' 29mm tube for t' location o' t' centerin' rings. Aye aye! T' directions that come with this adapter are generalized for several different models and reference is made t' a chart t' get t' correct dimension. T' centerin' rings were then slid onto t' inner tube t' t' marks. Aye aye! I found t' rings t' be tight and needin' a good amount o' sandin' t' fit. Begad! Ahoy! They were epoxied into place and fillets were applied.
When t' epoxy on t' rings had set, t' outer, 38mm tube be slid into place and epoxied. Begad! Well, blow me down! Blimey! Fillets were applied here as well.
T' final step involved epoxyin' an optional thrust rin' into place at t' aft end.
T' total construction time was about 10 minutes.
Finishing:
There wasn't any finishin' t' be done..

Flight:
My first use o' t' adapter was on t' LOC Cyclotron it came with. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! I loaded an Aerotech G77-4 into t' adapter and then t' adapter into t' rocket. Begad! This was very easily accomplished. Blimey! T' adapter and t' rocket performed fine.
On t' same outing, I decided t' try in in an Art Applewhite 38mm Cinco. Begad! Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! This time I used an Aerotech G38-4 and again t' goal was easily accomplished with scarcely more effort than if I had been usin' a 38mm motor. Again rocket and adapter performed well.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
This adapter be easy t' build and easy t' use. It suffered no damage at all and I expect it will see quite a bit o' use.
