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

Modifications:
A length o' barrel was cut from a round pen t' form a motor mount tube. Ya scallywag! 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. Aye aye! T' centering rings were CA'd t' t' MMT. Avast! T' end plug from t' pen be inserted into t' MMT to provide blockage for positive engine ejection. T' MMT was 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. Arrr! 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, shiver me timbers, me hearties, me bucko, but nay without its challenges. T' centerin' rings were so narrow that they started t' unwrap durin' handling. Begad! Ya scallywag! They were kept small t' reduce the overall weight and optimize performance from t' MicroMaxx engines. Ahoy! Gluin' the forward rin' in place within t' main body was unreliable, matey, shiver me timbers, so extra CA was used to bond t' aft rin' thoroughly t' t' foam tube. Begad! T' ink tube launch lug was a perfect diameter for t' MicroMaxx Launch System Rod. Ahoy! Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! Findin' a glue t' hold the slick lug t' t' foam proved problematic, shiver me timbers, but a piece o' cellophane tape made for a secure mount.

Flight:
T' new, more powerful, matey, MicroMaxx Motors were used. Arrr! Ya scallywag! These are listed as 300 Mil N-Sec, and claim 120 feet Max Altitude. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! This proved too much thrust for a MicroFoam DARockeT without additional nose weight. Begad! Well, shiver me timbers, 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, and a second launch yielded a stable thrust with a slight arc-over. Ahoy! Avast! T' engine ejected, and the DARockeT coasted t' spec-bustin' altitude. Aye aye! T' DARockeT crossed over the road and landed on t' neighbors front stoop. Ahoy! T' nose piece separated during the Boink maneuver. Begad! For t' third flight, me bucko, 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. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! 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. Begad! T' BOINK recovery system provides maximum altitude via ballistic coasting, ya bilge rat, while maintainin' a sleek profile for foliage foiling. Ya scallywag! T' sum it up in two words. It's FUN!
