Hmm...for all of you guys out there that are getting into trouble with the ladies, at least now they really won't freak out at the size of the packaging!
I'm in for a mini-Praetor and Deuce. I have 2 packs of MMX motors that I've never really built anything to use them with. Hopefully I'll be able to launch these in a tennis court.

How the heck do you get them Micro Maxx motors to light? The few times I tired them I just end up getting mad and giving up and just flew a few other Estes rockets I had.

Another tip is to take the plastic off the ignitor and insert them into the motor nozzle using 1/2 of a toothpick to hold it in place. The plastic comes apart in two pieces. Put the tip of the toothpick between the ignitor leads and poke it in the nozzle. This will hole the tip of the ignitor against the propellant and it keeps it from falling out.

Ditto. We are going to have a series of drawings (we hope right *in* the instructions) that shows you how to use our kits on the standard Quest MMX launch pad as well as this method of disassembling the ignitor and using a toothpick. I have had 100% success with that method and it is very easy.
It is also helpful as you then are not restricted to using the Quest launch pad. Also, some of our kits, like the Intergalactic Man of Space , you *can't* use the Quest launch pad and ignitor method and you *have* to use the toothpick method...
As for "where we are" with regard to MMX...:
- we are placing the tube order later this coming week
- our nose cone order is being placed
- some cones/rings have already been ordered and received
- I am actively working on the documentation for the following kits:
> Petite Praetor
> Intergalactic Man of Space
> Ulysses
> Designers Special
- I have a note in to Quest about distributing the MMX motors
- The web pages for this product line have been started
- The catalog pages for this product line have NOT been started yet, but close.
So, we've been busy, but there is a lot of work to be done.
As soon as all of the orders have been placed and we have ship dates on the items, we will be able to set a release date and announce that formally on our site.
It is still our goal to have an announcement out before Thanksgiving and hope to have kits and parts up for sale in time for Christmas (here's hoping! )
