McCoy's Micro Wonder Works Finished Rockets.

[Micromeister]

Well since there is a space I'll be happy to use it to show off the finished line of MMWW micro rockets that are just about all available as a one page plan as a FREE download to everyone over on the Micro Maxx Rockets Yahoo group.

I'll start at the beginning 1999 and work my way all the way through this year. Some are Scale, some are Sport, some are competition, lots are Odd-Rocs, many are classics.

 

[Micromeister]

Next 8 rockets are 1/8A competition models. By the end of 2001 MMWW had created at least one Competition rocket for each NAR event except Payload and Eggloft.
Starting with 1/8thA Flex Wing Gliders. All my Micro Rockets are Scratch Built using mostly "Totally Tubular" T2, T2+ T3, T4 & T5 craft tubing Balsa or Basswood home turned Nose Cones and Transitions with all kinds of materials as fin stock. Light 60 & 110lb Card-stock, .005", .010" & .015" Wafer Glass (very thin G10). 1/64th & 3/64th 3-ply plywood, .020", 1/32" & 1/16" Balsa. 1/32" Basswood as Fin Stock. Shock lines are 70 - 90lb Kevlar in 30-36" lengths. Recovery for most micros is done by 1/4" to 3/4" Wadding/Streamers of Military grade Teflon tape.
Most of the competative PD & SD rocket Bodies are Tracing Vellum.
As time went along I started using some of Fliskit's outstanding turned nosecones & transitions mostly in T3 (.375") diameter.

 

[Micromeister]

Next up are a couple 1/8A Cluster Altitude competition rockets and our first 3X downscale of the Orbital transport, First Micro LED Illuminated Night Launch Rocket and my first two Plastic Model Conversions.

 

[Micromeister]

Next came a 1:124.55 Scale Boeing Bomarc. A 4-motor BT-20 Down Scale of the Old Estes Ranger fitted with LED s for night flying. , another down-Scale Edmonds Glider the Ivee, and the last early competiton Micro "PCS"-rear eject Spot Lander, 3x Down Scale Laser-X, Down-Scale Cherokee-8thA, Down-Scale Ram-Jet, an all 60lb Card-stock , Ink-Jet printed Micro "The Point", and another Old favorite 3X down-scale Goblin.

 

[Micromeister]

Models 234 3x Down-Scale T4 Micro Der Red Max (4-fin) and Summer & Winter Camo Der Red Max- B & C with Diorama Launcher just for fun. These Der Red Max Rockets are modeled after the back page of the original kit instructions. Next a 3X Down-Scale Micro Mars Snooper, minimum diameter micro Nova Payloader, micro X-Ray Payloader, Micro Warp-II 2 Stage, Hercules 2-Stage, & First attempt at a T4 Sky-Dart Glider, I would later add a 10.5mm and 13mm booster to these Heavy Gliders.
The 2-Stagers do in fact stage, before Quest intoduced the MMX-II-NE, I crated my own boosters by carefully removing the ejection charge.

 

[Micromeister]

I soon discovered no matter how light I attempted to make these T4 (.448") diameter SkyDarts they were still to heavy to fly well on a single Micro Maxx motor.
I solved this problem by designing two different Boosters. One a 10.5mm A2-0, and Second a 13mm booster to fly on A10-0's. Both give these Micro SkyDarts plenty of altitude and glide time. Next MM 241 a Night flying Odd-Roc "Assateague Litehouse", then MM 242 Micro Frosty the Snowman. MM 243 is a 3x Down Scale Explorer Aquarius. The hardest part was hand carving the Nose section. MM 244 has to be one of my personal favorites a 4x downscale Interceptor & display booster
this minimum diameter T2+ rocket flies Great on MMX-1 or MMX-II motors. MM 245 also a minimum diameter Starship Vega. MM 246: T2+ Deep Space Transport. This model using a Basswood Turned Honest John Nosecone & T2 size mock boosters.
More finished Micro Rockets later

Thanks for posting these. Great stuff. I dare say that you might have the largest fleet that fits in the smallest amount of space.

For a subset of the images you posted the full-sized images won't come up (a problem I've had with a lot of your older posted pictures; I have no idea what the problem might be). In the last post, for instance, the Explorer Aquarius and the Interceptor won't come up. The view counts for those two are at zero (based on the tooltip that pops up when you rest the cursor on the thumbnails), so I might not be the only one having the problem.

Yes Neil: When we started posting photo's on TRF-1 we had to keep them below 100kb each. I've known about this problem for awhile but with all the pics in my files it's hard to spend the time to correct them all. I've taken the last 4 days to resize all my Micro-Maxx static photos. All the 0 view pics have been replaced in the posts above and we shouldn't have this problem again in static micro maxx photo' any way. I'll keep working on resizing all pics in my photo library but that will take some time.

Lets see we left off with MM 247 an Odd-Roc "Bottle Rocket", MM 248 is a 2-motor cluster Odd-Roc of the same general type. MM 249 is the first in a series of 1:200 scale PMCs from the "Man in Space" collection the tiny Mercury-Redstone. MM 250 is a Mercury-Atlas, and MM 251 is the Gemini-Titan. MM 252 is a 1:130th X-15 PMC that won 4th place at Naram-46. MM 253 is a 1: 119 scale V-2, MM 254 is a 1:72nd PMC of the Bell-X1, Last in this set is the 1:200 LEM PMC.

 

[Micromeister]

MM 256 is another Odd-Roc Christmas theme micro is the "Crystal Icicle". MM 257 an Old Pratt Hobbies D-Region Tomahawk. MM 258a-g is one of my favorite Demo Micro Rockets Art Applewhite "Bic Pen" Odd-Roc which I altered to include a recovery streamer. MM 259 is another of the Applewhite micro collection an all cardstock 3in UFO. MM 260 is a 1" Odd-Roc Sputnik. MM 261is a micro 3fin Gyroc helicopter recovery micro. MM 261 is a 1:18.667 Scale AIM-120 Amraam. MM 262 is another 1:42.7 Scale AQM-37a Jayhawk by ASP. MM 263 is the last Odd-Roc in this group a Halloween theme "Pumpkin S.tack"

 

[Micromeister]

Next up MM 265a & B are a couple All Card Stock Micro powered Mono Copters which make Outstanding Demo flights from a special 2" long .049" dia Launch rod.
Next is a all Card Stock 5.25" Christmas Tree with stand really makes a wonderful holiday Centerpiece and December Odd-Roc launch fun. Like wise MM 267 another Christmas theme Odd-Roc Candle Stick w. Holder always gets attention on the field or the table. MM 268 back to classic down scales a 3x downscale of the Alien Space Probe. MM 269 is a 1:144th scale LEM from a 3-D12 Clustered 1:144 scale Saturn-V PMC. this LEM like the 200th scale sports a clear .020" lexan disc drag fin for stable flights to about 40feet. MM 270a & b are Micro Tri-ny FO saucers model a being 1/32" basswood while b is all 110lb card stock. Both get about the same 25feet flights. MM 271 is another "Sky-Writing" Odd-Roc full scale Pencil. No there is nothing from a real pencil about it, it's all T2+, Basswood nose and a little metallic vinyl. MM 272a-h is my "Sky-Writing" full scale Box of Crayons including the custom made box. Each individual crayon can fly on it own or in two 4 rocket clusters from a Launcher Box shaped like the storage box just a 1/2" deeper. MM 273 is another 3x down-scale of a favorite Centuri rocket the ESS Raven. This Raven like the original has lots of card stock parts. MM 274 is my Micro Bertha. I never had a big Bertha back in the day so this a my micro 3x downscale. Last on this page is MM 275 a Micro True Scale model I just had to do, Spaceship ONE. With a lot of Nose weight it still flies really well, So well in fact I've had to replace the Nose cone twice now do to snapped 70lb kevlar shock lines. but it really does fly beautifully.

 

[Micromeister]

Continuing in True Scale mode MM 276 a 1:26.8149 Scale AGM-12b Bullpup. Then it was time to do a little experimenting to determine the optimum Body tube size to Scale Micros. MM 277, MM 278 & MM 279 are all True Scale Nike-Smokes (56.7186, 44.0, & 36.8715 scales). As it turns out MM 278 had the best Detail to performance from this point on Most of my Micro Scale projects are in this Scale based on T3 (.375") stock tubing. Next MM 280 is a 36.8715 Scale Nike-Apache. Then a 10.0559 Scale T4 Arcas. MM 282 is a minimum diameter T2+ (.281") 23.1316 Asp. MM 283 is a Late issue Quest Critical Mass LPB RTF rocket that actually flies pretty well. MM 284 Another Late Quest LPB of the Little Joe-II, which need a little reworking after I crushed it in my van door after it's first wobbly flight.

I skipped over the first 8 original Quest LPB's (Little Plastic Bricks) since they are not part of McCoy's Micro Wonder Works other then being the inspiration that started it all. MM 283 & MM 284 are included here only as place holders in my fleet numbering system.

 

[Micromeister]

Next Up MM 285 was an experiment to see how long a Micro Maxx rocket I could get to fly. I call it the ELE_1(Extreme Length Experiment Superroc) Consisting of 2 34" lengths of T2+ tubing & one T2 tube the overall length of this rocket is 103", with balsa Nosecone, .010" waferglass fins, 6 ft of 70lb kevlar shock line and 1/2" x 6" teflon tape Wadding streamer the completed rocket lift off weight was 18. 5g. Launching the beast required standing at the launcher for vertical support until the countdown reached T-1, flight altitude reached a decent 25feet and the rocket Back-slide glides very well, reaching about 100yds from the launcher . MM 286 a 144th Scale PMC F-104G, MM 287 a 144th PMC F16XL, MM 288 are Micro Powered Parasol's, another sort of Odd-Roc recovery anyway. MM 289a, is a Micro Flyin Jenny BG. while MM 289b - is the Red Baron Bi-wing BG. MM 290 a 1:142.4387 Scale Scout-B, and last for this post a pair of Fuzzy Dice (another Art Applewhite Qubit) I altered quite a bit. The Dice do not fly connected gather fly individually on MMX-1 or MMX-II motors.

 

[Micromeister]

Continuing with Art Applywhite "Qubit" Card-stock saucers MM 292 is the Scimitar Qubit, MM 293 it the "Stealth Qubit". Both are fine & funny little flying gizmos. One of Estes Standard kits that makes a wonderful Micro Maxx rear ejection recovery rocket is the Mosquito. MM294a-d are four of these fun little kits I've been flying since 2004. Looking for an easy to build glider I tried MM 295 that I named the "Bumble Flee" a fairly large glider that has never really separated well in the field. Glides like all gee wiz but can't seem to get beyond the booster/streamer causing lots of "Red Baron" flights. MM 296 is a 3X down-scale of the 70's Centuri Vulcan card-stock rocket. this little jewel flies as well as it's full size original. Last rocket for this post is a 2.17 down-scale of Estes Astron Sprint (streamer duration) models. This T4 (.448") dia. model Jumps off the pad with it's Micro Pop Lug getting very high flights over 220feet. The Oval fins and tapered conical boattail make this model a very interesting rocket to build and fly.

 

[Micromeister]

MM 298 is the only Goonie Micro I've created "Micro Missile Toe" just seem appropriate. This Little Odd-Roc was a favorite of mine from back in the day just had to down-scale it for Micro motors. MM 299 is another favorite from the good old days and the Glider I got my first qualified flight in competition. the Micro Scissor Wing Transport was indeed a challenge to build but worked out fairly well. As a Glider our micro version doesn't have the glide time of the larger original but is enough to make it worth building and flying. MM 300 is one of my prouder moments. Robert Edmonds of Edmonds Aerospace engineers is a valued club member and has always had lots of neat and Unusual gliders presented. I believe it was in 2003 that the Ecee RG glider series was introduced, and I had to have all the different scales, 10.5mm, 13mm, 18mm and 24mm motor mounts were how that were sized. I ask if He would be upset if I down-scaled it to Micro Maxx power and He was perfectly fine with it though he doubted it would be a very good micro glider. To everyone's surprise this small RG is a very good performer, frequently flown at
Scout & School demo's across the DMV. MM 301 is an example of a Lager (13") Slide wing RG that wasn't a success. While it boost OK to about 25feet it's glide times never were very good at all. Sometimes Smaller is better. MM 302 is another adapted Down-Scale Odd-Roc from Peter Away the Micro Zvezdotchka ACM is my version of his bunny (Anti Carrot Missile). MM 303 is as one might guess the target of the Zvezdotchka ACM a Carrot Odd-Roc just for fun. MM 304 gets us back into down-scale mode with a 4.3x down-scale of the National Aerospace Plane. this little T4 size micro flys wonderfully to over 120feet recovering on a small 1/2" x 9" yellow teflon streamer/wadding. Last Model for this post MM 305 is our 3.5x down-scale of the "Blue Bird Zero" This T3 size rocket measures over 11.5" in length with a lift off mass of only 9.6g. As with all long thin rocket this model has a tendency to "back slide glide" trailing it's 3/4" x 18" red teflon wadding/streamer.

 

[Micromeister]

MM 306 & 307 are real Moldie Oldies from the Golden age of rocketry. MM 306 is a T4 down-scale of Estes Kit K31 Star Blazer-1. MM 307 T4 down-scale of Estes Kit #0831 Star Blazer-II. MM 308 is my Tiniest Crayon, this minimum diameter x 2.3125" long rocket. Yes it's flown twice with a 1/4" x 10" yellow Wadding/Streamer recovery. The Next two are Odd-Rocs MM 309a Whirlygig and MM Whirlygig-b is a canted two motor cluster. These Whirlygigs spin-up and flutter down. MM 310a1 is an interesting Spin Ring Thing down-scales. MM 310a1 was my first attempt at this 8- 60deg. canted 1/32" basswood fin, two motor cluster which worked OK but seemed a bit on the heavy side so MM 301a2 used .005" Waferglass fins. MM-310b is a single motor with the same .005" waferglass canted fins. All three of these little rocket really boost very high, turn over and spin in pretty fast. CAUTION- These one or two motor Spin Ring Things should NEVER be Up-Scaled larger then 13mm motors as the rocket comes in just way to fast without some sort of additional recovery system. MM 311 is another Tiny rocket I named the "No-See EM" which is only 2.0" tall. This little 4 fined rocket is so quick I have yet to be able to get a clear lift-off shot of it.

 

[Micromeister]

MM 312: My next 3X Up-scale is a Thumb Tack "spool" Odd-Roc. At just a little over 9/16" long & 1-3/16" diameter disc, this little rocket leaps off the pad. At motor ejection the Thumb Tack tumbles back down. I nearly lost it on the first flight so it hasn't flown since but it is often on display at Demo's.
MM 313 is another Micro Down-Scale Blast from the past: The Falcon Boost Glider. This 3x down-scale flies great and can be trimmed to make a 100ft circle with outstanding glide times.
MM 314 is a Micro Card-Stock conversion of the Eiffel Tower to a flying rocket with rear ejection and short streamer recovery.
MM 315 is a 3X down-scale of the Old "Constellation" payload model which I fly as a Night Launch rocket with 3- 1/4" x 1" Cyalume glow sticks in the payload section.
MM 316: Another 3X down-scale of the Viper-III. this is a large micro model with a BT-20 Body powered by a 3- motor cluster. Custom decals just for fun.
MM 317: This Classic down scale of the "Centuri" Taurus is also a 3 motor cluster after the first single motor flight didn't have quite enough power. A really nice flying rocket on 3- MMX-II's.
MM 318: This Down-Scale of the MPC Lunar Patrol 2-glider rocket was a fun build and a Hoot to fly.. As with the original back in the day this little down-scale flies and glides as well as the original with the gliders circling the booster all the way down.
MM 319: is a Micro Maxx power conversion of the Estes Quark using the same rear ejection pod as used on my Mosquitos.
MM 320: 3x down-scale of the Galileo Satellite. Can't recall who's original design this was but as a micro it really flies very nicely.

 

[Micromeister]

MM 321: Another Classic down-scale; MM Trident-T3 is a fairly large Micro Model but flies pretty well on a single MMX-II.
MM 322: A MM Wee Wacky Wiggler: really works like the Estes original.
MM 323: One of my favorite Halloween Odd-Rocs. Spooknik- Flying Ghost. It's a 1" styrofoam sputnik with a muslin stiffened cover.
MM 324a: MM Tasmanian Devil scale Rotor Helicopter.
MM 324b: MM Tasmanian Devil Short Rotor Helicopter.
MM 325: Micro Maple Seed 2-part Helicopter recovery.
MM 326: Micro Yellow Jacket a 2.6 Down-Scale. A great flying micro T3 model.
MM 327: Micro 2.6 down-scale 2-piece Helicopter. KEWL flying Model but very hard to find in grass other the mowed.
MM 328: A FlisKit micro canted cluster " the Diminutive Deuce". I can't say enough about the quality of Fliskits "Micro to the Maxx" kits. Over the last couple years I've purchased a number of Jim Flis designs for both sport and competitions flying. Each and every one is exceptional in concept and 1st rate materials throughout. I can't recommend Fliskits any higher! If you're looking to start a great collection of Micro Models I'd strongly recommend his Line of Micro Maxx powered kits. Parts and a source for Micro-Maxx motors.

 

[Micromeister]

MM 329 is another outstanding Fliskit "The TOG" It is really a fun build and great flying micro model.
MM 330: a 3x T3 down scale of one or Estes 1st Rockets the Scout. At this Scale it works just as well as the original and is just as difficult to follow on the way down. But like the original it is a "TRUE" Tumble recovery.
MM 331: is a Sandman wrap kit of the Little Joe-II. pretty crude capsule but flies pretty well.
MM 332: A free card-stock give away from Fliskits the Micro Midnight Express is a high flying all card-stock sport flyer.
MM 333: we're back to custom Odd-Rocs with my Micor K-Mart ChapStick creation.
MM 334: Spools seem to get a lot of attention on the range. MM 334a & MM334b are a couple 1.5" Micro powered spools that always get plenty of attention with their 40 foot flights.
MM 335: A friend from Eastern Europe down-scaled from my larger model plans a 44.70 Scale all Card-Stock NASA IRIS sounding rocket.
MM 336: A Standard BT-5 paper wrap down-scale of an Early Estes Alpha.

 

[Micromeister]

MM 337: A 1/180 scale PMC XB-70 Valkyrie in-line 6-motor Cluster. Lot's of fun converting this plastic model, not very impressive altitude (about 15ft) but was a Hoot to see fly!
MM 338: Last of the Down-Scaled "Maple Seed" Type Helicopter recovery rockets, Micro T3 Tornado. An outstanding very high flier, a little hard to track recovery alone, having two people highly recommended.
MM 339: Dwindled Dead Ringer: This T3 Disc Drag Fin rocket finished in Chrome Silver can't be touched with bare hands without ruining the finish, Soft cotton gloves are still required to prep, handle and load. Another color would have been a better choice but flying like a Bat off the pad.
MM 340: Another Great Fliskit: The Doo-Hickey is a Large T4 Micro powered great flying rocket.
MM 341: Fliskit Tiny Triskelion is as great looking a rocket as primary colors can produce, and flies wonderfully in winds under 10mph.
MM 342: This Fliskit needed a bit more power then the designed single MMX motor, I converted it to a 3 motor cluster with great results.
MM 343: Another BT-5 model Conversion "The 220 Swift" works well as a single MMX motor rear ejection model. getting perhaps 40feet flights.
MM 344: This Halloweenish Rocket is one of my favorite down-Scales. The Bat was a challenge to pull-off because of the White Decals which had to be procued on my Old Alps printer. Flies very nicely.
MM 345: this is a down-Scale of a 13mm Fliskit. I named it the Nano-Dot which is a minimum diameter .281" x 1-39/64" long tiny .8gram rocket. First run I made a dozen of these little card-stock finned, turned foam nose rockets. I have one left. With as many as 30 people watching at ignition this rocket teleports to who-knows-where never to be seen again. But fun to make and launch anyway.

 

[Micromeister]

MM 346: Another blast from the past 3X Down-scale "Black Hole Space Probe". All those fins and rings Wow! but it flies fairly well anyway.
MM 347: "Atomic Delta Wing Bomber". This rocket is a model of a photo I found in a Popular Science Mag. from the mid 1950's. All custom turned basswood parts, wings and tail. Flies great on a single MMX-II motor.
MM 348: T5 Kc-8 Centuri Orion. This 3x down-scale was a challenge with all the small projects, corrugated wraps and external pods. Have to say I wasn't sure how well it would fly, I've been very pleased to report it gets very nice altitude recovering on a 3/4" x 12" red Teflon tape Wadding/Streamer.
MM 349: The Narhams LOGO Rocket was created to match our Section 139 patch rocket for NARAM 50 handout plan. At BT-5 it flies very well on a single motor.
MM 350: MM Courier is a T2+ min. diameter Down-Scale from the Golden age of rocketry. exceptional flier on MMX-1 or MMX-II motors.
MM 351: MM Drifter is a T3 version of another Golden Age of Rocketry Estes high flyer. Great flights on either MMX-1 or MMX-II motors.
MM 352: MM Javelin (3x down-scale of Centuri Kc-31) was either the first or second rocket I ever built back in the day, an outstanding flying Micro rocket.
MM 353: MM NASA Pegasus; a T3 down-scale single or 3-motor cluster micro model.
MM 354: MM Payloader-II: T3 down-scale of another Golden Age of rocketry model, it flies well and works very nicely as a night launch vehicle with both Glow-sticks and 5mm LED lighting. That's it for this post, more to come.

 

[GlenP]

Wow, these are amazing. Thanks for sharing. I have done a few 13mm mini engine downscales, but have not ventured into MMX much yet, other than my first MMX kit, the FlisKits Mighty Saturn V. Will have to try some of these.

Has anyone ever micro-cloned the Colossus? That would be kind of funny, if not ironic.

https://www.estesrockets.com/media/instructions/001326_COLOSSUS.pdf

Thanks Glen:
Still have about 75 more to post. COLOSSUS is on the "to build list" I've been trying to decide if it should be a 7x down-scale to T3(.375") or make it a BT-20 3.5x down-scale as a 4- motor Micro Cluster? Really like the Decals which I'll have to redraw (another reason it hasn't been built yet).

Lets see, where did I leave off?
MM 355: Micro Rain Maker: This 3X down-scale was a favorite flyer of my daughter. So the Paint Scheme is per her model. A larger diameter Micro BT-5 to T2 x 9" long it still gets good altitude on a single MMX-II.
MM 356: Micro Saros (K-54), This Classic Down-Scale is a T3 x 9" long rocket. Flies very well on a single MMX-I or MMX-II.
MM 357: Micro Screamer (TK-2) is a T2+(.281") minimum Diameter Version of one of Esters original trio of "Mini-Brutes" from the early 1970's when the first 13mm motors became available the other two being :"the Mosquito" & "Mini Bertha". At just over 4" long this little rockets really scoots off the pad to 280' or better flights.
MM 358: Micro Sentinel: This T3 Down-scale is also a great little flying machine on single MMX-II motors.
MM 359: Micro Zinger: Another of Daughter Kathleen's frequent fliers. This T3 down-scale was just for fun.
MM 360: Micro Thor-Agena-B: This 211.7899 Scale T4 model of the early Estes K-28 Scale rocket with .020" clear Lexan fins flies nicely on MMX-I or MMX-II motors.
MM 361: Micro Solar Flare: This T3 size Micro Looks pretty good but at 15.6grams does not fly very well on a single motor. Will try it at T2+ main body size to see of the rocket can be a little better flight performer.
MM 362: Micro Midget -2-stage: Oh Man is this a sweet flying little T3 to T4 body 2-Stage micro! Using the fairly new MMX-II-NE booster motor that still has a .85second delay is somewhat of a heart stopping delay this birdie really gets some great altitude on the upper stage. Very Impressive flights & good recovery visibility.
MM 363: Micro Big Honkin Rockets: These 3 rocket Fliskits are truly a HOOT to build and fly. Minimum T2+ diameter and a little over 3 inches long they really teleport off the pad at ignition. Good to have additional eyes on these little speedsters.

 

[Micromeister]

MM 364: Micro Pee-Wee Payloader: This was a very interesting project for the NAR. Taking with the Contest rules Chairmen at NARAM-49 I was ask to design a Payload that could be used for 1/8A, 1/4A, 1/2A & A Payload Altitude competitions. It has to be something Not using Lead shot but had to be usable in all four motor classes. To that end I designed both a 3.5g payload and Pee-Wee Payloaders for all 4 motor classes. These were adopted as provisional events before NARAM-50. I haven't checked the "NEW PINK BOOK" National contest sporting code to see if these classes are still there but having closed this gap in our micro competition model line we are now only missing one. 1/8A egg-loft, which is still being worked on.
MM 365: Micro 3's A Charm: Fliskit 3 tiny glider "Micro Airshow" what a Hoot to build and fly! Have extra eyes to help with recovering all 4 pieces LOL!
MM 366: Another Fliskit Dead Ringer: This kit is also a fun flyer on single MMX-II motors.
MM 367: While The Stinger is a great little Fliskit it just begged to become a 3 motor cluster so I converted this rocket and it is now a teleporting triumph. Out of sight flights on a MMX-II and 2- MMX-II-NE in the outboards. Very KEWL flights.
MM 368: Micro T3 Wolverine: another down-scale that flies as good as it looks.
MM 369: Micro T3 Guardian: a Great flying down-scale of a more current Estes offering.
MM 370: Micro Cosmic Cluster: This 2, 4 or 6 motor cluster is a custom design use on a full size Kit Bash club project in 2010. The micro version flies as well as it's full size brother on any combination of 2, 4, or 6 MMX-II motors. (6 motors sends the 33.6g rocket out of sight).
MM 371: Micro T2++ Christmas Bell: is an all Card-Stock Christmas Odd-Roc that really flies well on a single MMX-II motor.
MM 372: Micro Airborne Surveillance Missile: This T3-T5 micro powered missile flies as good as it looks. very nice flights.

 

[Micromeister]

Nice! I would like to clone the Snarky, and some of the other new Shrockets, to 13mm mini engine size.

MM 390: F-1c Mirage 1:144th PMC: A bit of a bear to get an internal body tube in with motor stop, shock-line, nose section shoulder & 1/4" x 10" wadding/Streamer. This little 4" long jet flies OK on a single MMX-II motor.
MM 391: A couple all card-stock Pinwheels: these Art Applewhite folded card-stock spinning Saucers are a good micro demo for grade school groups.

MM 399: Micro Wac Corporal (41.81495 Scale): Started as another ASP semi-scale kit, with a little work, getting this rocket to very near true scale was not that difficult.

I thought I should mention that many of the PMC conversions are not available on the one page Plans over on the Micro Maxx Yahoo group. That said just about all of them have been documented in build threads here on TRF in the Micro Maxx Forum. As most are somewhat involved custom builds I'm happy to answer anyone's questions about the "How's" on any particular conversion. That said some may find alternate ways to achieve the same build results.
MM 408: SR-71A Black Bird: This Dragon 144th Scale PMC made a perfect size 3-Motor Cluster. Vary interesting flights.
MM 409: Bumper-Wac (V2): Another Long time wanted Scale Model made possible by 3D printing. This Fliskit is an excellent starting point scale model.
MM 410: F-22A Raptor: 144th Scale PMC: is a great little 2-motor cluster using intake streamer recovery. Gets good altitude on a pair of MMX-II Motors.
MM 411: TR-1A (U2): 144th Dragon PMC: The Wing Span & 21.5g mass gave me pause building this conversion but it does get about 12-15feet on a single MMX-II motor.
MM 412: X-29 Grumman 144th PMC: this fantastic "X-Plane" is as good a flier as it is good looking on the table. Mine is a wheels down conversion.
MM 413a: MIM-104 Patriot Missile PMC: A pretty expensive "Launch system" Kit, This little missile flies fine from a standard .049" x 9" launch rod.
MM 413b: MIM-104 Patriot Missile battery PMC Diorama: Making the Patriot Launch from it's stacked crate took a little doing but WOW What a KEWL working Launcher system that can be attached to any standard camera tripod. This entire build was documented in the Micro Maxx Forum.
MM 414a: Nanite Slide-Wing RG Glider: One of two built from the same Fliskit. Great little competition RG Gliders.
MM 414b: Nanite Slide-Wing RG Glider: Second Glider from Fliskit above.


MM 410:

I'm always impressed, but that U2 is sheer madness. Well played!
