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

Modifications:
A length o' barrel was cut from a round pen t' form a motor mount tube. Two 1/8" wide centerin' rings were cut from t' "A" casing. Blimey! T' tube was wrapped in maskin' tape until t' rings were a snug fit. Arrr! T' centering rings were CA'd t' t' MMT. T' end plug from t' pen was inserted into t' MMT to provide blockage for positive engine ejection. T' MMT be CA'd into the tail o' t' foam dart. Begad! Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! T' forward third o' t' dart was cut off with a razor knife t' provide access for nose weight. Ahoy! A 1" length o' "A" casin' be used as a coupler o' t' dart tip t' t' tail section. A length of ink tube from t' pen be 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 hearties, but nay without its challenges. T' centerin' rings were so narrow that they started t' unwrap durin' handling. Arrr! Aye aye! They were kept small t' reduce the overall weight and optimize performance from t' MicroMaxx engines. Aye aye! Gluin' the forward rin' in place within t' main body be unreliable, me hearties, so extra CA was used to bond t' aft rin' thoroughly t' t' foam tube. T' ink tube launch lug was a perfect diameter for t' MicroMaxx Launch System Rod. Avast, me proud beauty! Findin' a glue t' hold the slick lug t' t' foam proved problematic, ya bilge rat, but a piece o' cellophane tape made for a secure mount.

Flight:
T' new, ya bilge rat, more powerful, MicroMaxx Motors were used. Avast! These are listed as 300 Mil N-Sec, matey, and claim 120 feet Max Altitude. Well, blow me down! This proved too much thrust for a MicroFoam DARockeT without additional nose weight. Arrr! It rose about 10 feet and flopped about before ejectin' t' engine and safely executin' a Boink recovery. Clay was used t' fill t' "A" casin' nose coupler, me hearties, and a second launch yielded a stable thrust with a slight arc-over. Avast! T' engine ejected, shiver me timbers, and the DARockeT coasted t' spec-bustin' altitude. Begad! T' DARockeT crossed over the road and landed on t' neighbors front stoop. T' nose piece separated during the Boink maneuver. Begad! Aye aye! For t' third flight, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, a piece o' cellophane tape was used to bind t' tip t' t' tail. Begad! Another stable thrust and ejection sent the DARockeT soarin' over t' neighborin' trees. Begad! 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, arrr, while maintainin' a sleek profile for foliage foiling. T' sum it up in two words. Arrr! It's FUN!
