I hope this isn't too dumb of a thought and I also hope it doesn't appear as a blasphemous use of MMX motors!
Have MMX motors been used as spin rocket motors on a larger rocket? Several full size rockets such as the x-17 and Doorknob (I think) used small motors to initiate spin just after launch and I thought this might be doable using MMX motors on a mid-power scale rocket. Of course it would require some type of timed ignition, but that is very common these days. Would be a pretty neat scale touch, I think!
I have to admit that I have ZERO experience with MMX motors, ignition etc. so there may be a hundred reasons that this is totally silly idea. But you never learn if you don't ask, I suppose.
Thanks!
Mike
