Re: Supplemental: Descon12 - Need RMR Direction

I would say all MMaxx since if I add a MMaxx to anything over a 1/2A the MMaxx is essential nothing. Special Effects. IE it contributes virtually nothing on the higher scales.

Its like adding a 1/2A6-2 to a J powered Cluster Model.

how about a Parts list for a Micro Maxx Scaled Grissom.

Would solve the power issues. we do it for HPR so my not for NPR

How about if we only allow one other motor, and only up to an A103T? It is a lot of kit, and kit bashing tends to add considerable weight.

I'd go along with "using" over "limited to". a couple micromaxx should be fine outboards :-) kinda like the old MRC fx motors.

I have listed two online sites in the links section that both confirmed they had MicroMaxx motors, Discount Rocketry and A2Z Hobbies. If there are others I will list them too.

Bearing in mind that all these other submissions would be accepted, however, to gain the 0.15 mission points for MMaxx and ultimately the

0.4 bonus mission points. So the idea is that to get all the mission points it will be challenging.

So you may not be able to get all the mission points but have a design that is so wonderful that the votes drive it to the top.

We'll wait another day or so and finalize this from the comments in this thread.

It seems to me that the challange to this mission objective is to cluster the MMX motors.

My inclination would be to say that to satisfy this objective you have to use more than 1 MMX motor.

This would let you have a central, larger, motor to have a nice safe flight and also require the clustering of the MMX motors.

i say keep the reqirements as is. i already an researching plans for two entries that meet ALL requirements

yeah I did not read it all and was not aware at that moment what the contest was.

Why not a parts list for micromaxx like we have for high power ?

I think that should be updated by the way nick.

as much 7mm tube as needed but only for MMT's

if someone clusters 6 inches limits you to 3 or 4 engine cluster.

sure and that is fine but you can not call it an A8-3 powere model now can you.

the point is the A8 is insignificant to the rocket. an afterthought.

Anyone can make a 10 pound rocket fly on a J but now making a cluster rocket micromaxx that must be clustered to fly successfully.

IE I just think the Micromaxx's shoudl supply "significant" thrust to the model. enough that it would fly "differently" without them.

but its irrelevant anyway. since its a grissom kitbash mmaxx engines are useless. no big deal.

ya just need talent

The tube doesn't have to be as long as the motor...

1/4" should hold a uMax straight.

Tom

but it would make sealing things up more challenging and maybe heavier which MMAxx does not need.
