Been awhile since I added and Updated my New and fairly new Micro models.
A couple completed and New Micro PMC's: the 1/144th Mirage F-1c, 1/144th X-35B Lighting & 1/40th little John Nuke with working Launcher.

All three very Fun builds. Mirage and Lighting have already flown, Hope to get the Little John in the air this weekend.

A couple Paper or Cardstock models MM 391 Art Applewhite's Micro Pinwheels. and two Ping pong ball or Styrofoam Snow ball Bailout Spot landing micro models just for fun.

Last but far from Least are two Sport flying micros.
MM 401 SteamPunked M.A.C.M.E. Shrew (Fliskit- downscale Spit-Fire) that I just couldn't leave alone.

and MM 402 a Down Scale of one of several hopeful future club Kits to celebrate Narhams 50th Anniversary coming up in may of 2015. This one designed by another club member but I just had to try downscaling it. Truly this one will not be a great flying micro this BT-20 to BT-5 outer dimesions with inner T2+ motor tube plus all the other stuff make this one a little piggy weighing in at 14.9g LOWT 16.0g. but it should whistle on the way up. I'm calling it "NARHAMS Ducted Payloader". I'm Hoping to add an additional 2g to it with my Adrel Alt-LED altimeter if her maiden flight gets any altitude at all.

Decades ago when Estes introduced the Geo-Sat LV I just had to have one! the overall look of this rocket just called to me. it had to be a Cluster motor conversion.

Since micro motors came I've wanted to downscale this fantastic model. Well I've done it! finally figured out a way to fabricate the satellite using very thing Styrene. Won't go into the entire fabrication process here as there is a complete build thread in the Micro Maxx Forum for those interested. I've also uploaded the One Page plan to the MicroMaxRockets yahoo.group files section our your use.

I'm super Please with the Clustered 3 mmx motor performance of this little 3X downscale. Not only does it look Just like the original design if flys just as well. It was a bit of a challange to create but like the full size model does not disappoint on the field.

Another Long time planned Scale project has been the EER Research Rocket Conestoga-1620 Flown from Wallops Island, VA.

As A Micro Model I planned this model to drop Boosters but after a lot of head scratching decided to keep everything together as recovery of all the parts would become problematic. Instead the model was made to be a 3, 4, 5 or 7motor cluster. it has now flown successfully with 3, 5 and 7 motors. A Fun but time consuming set-up using hand dipped Micor Q2 igniters and relay system.

I do like Clustering Micro Models LOL!!!

I used to enjoy Archary as a shooting sport. So thought I'd make an Odd-Roc micro powered full size Arrow.
Wanting to keep it as True to the real thing as possible I decided to go with real fletching feathers rather then standard material fins.
The Model is all T2+ (.281") diameter standard body tubing Split at 15 inches so it can be flown as a CrossBow Bolt also.
Flies faily well for a single MMX-II powered heavy model:)

Yet another Scale Micro Project that has taken more the 5 years to decide on the proper size.
The Astrobee-500 is a 1:23.23 Scale model of the early 3 staged sounding rocket. the original thought was to try to at least 2-stage is model but my better judegment kicked in and this particular model is simply single stage.
She is a Heavy beast with a large OD so flight altitude is very limited but was worth the effort to get this Model in my Scale fleet.

A nice fleet of MMX rockets Kuririn. I'm starting to get into these little jewels. Hope mine looks half as good as your look.
 
I just did a search for MMX motor dimensions and came up with nothing, even on the Quest website. Is there a website with drawings & dimensions? If not can you tell me what the dimensions are? Thanks.
