Brief:
Converted a Generic Foam Dart t' MicroMaxx Power. Arrr! Ya scallywag! 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. Begad! T' tube was wrapped in maskin' tape until t' rings were a snug fit. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' centering rings were CA'd t' t' MMT. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! T' end plug from t' pen was inserted into t' MMT to provide blockage for positive engine ejection. Ahoy! T' MMT was CA'd into the tail o' t' foam dart. Avast! Well, matey, blow me down! T' forward third o' t' dart was cut off with a razor knife t' provide access for nose weight. Begad! A 1" length o' "A" casin' be used as a coupler o' t' dart tip t' t' tail section. Begad! 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, me bucko, ya bilge rat, but nay without its challenges. T' centerin' rings were so narrow that they started t' unwrap durin' handling. Begad! Begad! Blimey! 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, matey, so extra CA be used to bond t' aft rin' thoroughly t' t' foam tube. Blimey! T' ink tube launch lug was a perfect diameter for t' MicroMaxx Launch System Rod. Begad! Begad! Blimey! 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, more powerful, arrr, MicroMaxx Motors were used. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! These are listed as 300 Mil N-Sec, ya bilge rat, me bucko, and claim 120 feet Max Altitude. Ahoy! Blimey! This proved too much thrust for a MicroFoam DARockeT without additional nose weight. Ahoy! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! 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, matey, shiver me timbers, and a second launch yielded a stable thrust with a slight arc-over. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' engine ejected, me hearties, me bucko, and the DARockeT coasted t' spec-bustin' altitude. Arrr! Blimey! T' DARockeT crossed over the road and landed on t' neighbors front stoop. Aye aye! Blimey! T' nose piece separated during the Boink maneuver. Well, blow me down! Blimey! For t' third flight, a piece o' cellophane tape was used to bind t' tip t' t' tail. Blimey! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! Another stable thrust and ejection sent the DARockeT soarin' over t' neighborin' trees. Avast! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! 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. Well, blow me down! T' BOINK recovery system provides maximum altitude via ballistic coasting, while maintainin' a sleek profile for foliage foiling. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! T' sum it up in two words. Ahoy! It's FUN!
