I have never flown a micromaxx before (I can't find them in my area), but they just seem incredibly neat to me.
I was just looking at the altitude record for MMX, which roughly comes out to 269 feet, which is really impressive.
Therefore, I was wondering, whether the record setting model was made out of .58 oz fiberglass or something silly like that, and whether or not composites would even be viable. The idea of trying to make a 6mm nosecone out of a 2 piece fiberglass mold amuses me greatly. I know that usually there is an optimal weight that you want when going for altitude when going for coast, but considering these motors only have .5 avg NS thrust, I am not sure where that optimal weigh is.
In short, I will likely never do this, as trying to find a tiny MMX after it goes 300 feet scares me. But I do think a "Blackhawk 6" would just be absolutely hilarious.
