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. Ahoy! T' centering rings were CA'd t' t' MMT. Ya scallywag! T' end plug from t' pen was inserted into t' MMT to provide blockage for positive engine ejection. Avast! T' MMT was CA'd into the tail o' t' foam dart. Arrr! 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' was used as a coupler o' t' dart tip t' t' tail section. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! 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 be a seemingly simple conversion, ya bilge rat, but nay without its challenges. Avast! T' centerin' rings were so narrow that they started t' unwrap durin' handling. They were kept small t' reduce the overall weight and optimize performance from t' MicroMaxx engines. Avast, me proud beauty! Gluin' the forward rin' in place within t' main body was unreliable, matey, so extra CA be used to bond t' aft rin' thoroughly t' t' foam tube. Avast, me proud beauty! T' ink tube launch lug was a perfect diameter for t' MicroMaxx Launch System Rod. 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, shiver me timbers, more powerful, arrr, MicroMaxx Motors were used. Begad! These are listed as 300 Mil N-Sec, and claim 120 feet Max Altitude. Avast! This proved too much thrust for a MicroFoam DARockeT without additional nose weight. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! 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, ya bilge rat, and a second launch yielded a stable thrust with a slight arc-over. Avast! T' engine ejected, and the DARockeT coasted t' spec-bustin' altitude. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! T' DARockeT crossed over the road and landed on t' neighbors front stoop. T' nose piece separated during the Boink maneuver. For t' third flight, a piece o' cellophane tape was used to bind t' tip t' t' tail. Avast, me proud beauty! Another stable thrust and ejection sent the DARockeT soarin' over t' neighborin' trees. Ahoy! 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. Arrr! Begad! T' BOINK recovery system provides maximum altitude via ballistic coasting, while maintainin' a sleek profile for foliage foiling. Well, blow me down! Avast! T' sum it up in two words. It's FUN!
