I am getting into rocketry, focused on mostly micro maxx. I was looking over my Nanite kit to plan my build, I looked up my local rocketry club in hope that there would be micro flyers there, sadly they do not fly in winter due to the snow fall we have in Michigan, so I am on my own building/ flying spree until spring.
From my reading the Nanite should not be painted for best performance....I was studying the brilliant simple design and it occurred to me that with a few simple mods the slide wing feature could be actuated without the need for a burn string therefore permitting rear ejection of spent motor And this makes the glider noticeably lighter in the glide phase....so a silly newbie question...is ejecting the spent motor case permitted in 1/8th A glider class? Sorry if this is a dumb question....I do not know or meet any " rocketry guys" other than my local hobby shop, they are not familiar with micro Max, but are trying to order motors for me. This mod of course would require re- balance of the glider, but that seems easy on this nifty design.
