Hi All,

Quest Micro Maxx Super Value Starter Set product number 5618.

All members of Species 5618 who seek perfection should buy one.

Other threads exist covering this.

Contains the existing Toy-Biz era plastic rockets (10) and the new MicroMaxx II -1 motors
(50) with WMX igniters. Full size Quest launch pad with micro rod and adapter sleeve to
fit in existing hole. QMX adapter so you can use the supplied 9 volt electronic controller
(which has micro clips).

Deal of the Century. Take some Apollo XI dollars down there and buy one now.

QMX, not WMX. (fat fingers trying to type while eating a Lean Pocket...)

And they're the latest generation of QMX with the thinner wire that heats up faster.

Oh well.  We don't have a Hobby Lobby around here... :(

I found one Saturday.  I didn't want to wait until the next sale.

Hi all,
 Picked one up today.  I was given 1/2 off, since 'plastic models' had a 1/2
off sale on the store flier.  Also found some C11-0's for $4.50 (none left
now).  Got to say the packaging of the Micromaxx's is a bit cheap.  A bag of
rockets, a bag of motors, a pad & launch control in a bag and a piece of
cardboard covered with ignitors.  All padded with 3 sheets of crumpled paper!

Fly straight and true (some of those Micromaxx's just don't!)

Add plastic fins to the Saturn V for perfectly straight flights. Photos are over on the
Micromax (one "x") YahooGroup. I also loaded a bunch of photos of the Micro adapter that
can slide onto a regular launch rod.
