Brief:
Converted a Generic Foam Dart t' MicroMaxx Power. Well, blow me down! Begad! I hereby dub thee a MicroFoam DARockeT.

Modifications:
A length o' barrel be cut from a round pen t' form a motor mount tube. Arrr! Blimey! Two 1/8" wide centerin' rings were cut from t' "A" casing. Ahoy! Blimey! T' tube was wrapped in maskin' tape until t' rings were a snug fit. Begad! Blimey! T' centering rings were CA'd t' t' MMT. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! T' end plug from t' pen be inserted into t' MMT to provide blockage for positive engine ejection. Aye aye! Blimey! T' MMT was CA'd into the tail o' t' foam dart. Aye aye! Blimey! T' forward third o' t' dart be cut off with a razor knife t' provide access for nose weight. A 1" length o' "A" casin' was used as a coupler o' t' dart tip t' t' tail section. Begad! Blimey! 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, but nay without its challenges. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! 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. 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. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! 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, me hearties, but a piece o' cellophane tape made for a secure mount.

Flight:
T' new, shiver me timbers, more powerful, me bucko, MicroMaxx Motors were used. Begad! 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. Ya scallywag! 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, and a second launch yielded a stable thrust with a slight arc-over. Aye aye! T' engine ejected, arrr, 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. Avast, me proud beauty! T' nose piece separated during the Boink maneuver. Aye aye! For t' third flight, arrr, a piece o' cellophane tape be used to bind t' tip t' t' tail. Avast! Begad! Another stable thrust and ejection sent the DARockeT soarin' over t' neighborin' trees. Aye aye! Arrr! T' streamlined nature o' the BOINK recovery system allowed t' DARockeT t' slide through t' dense foliage and land unharmed.

Summary:
In summary, arrr, this modification explores t' top end o' t' performance envelope defined by MicroMaxx Motors. Aye aye! 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. Aye aye! It's FUN!
