Default Semroc Maxi-Micron

A newly built Semroc Maxi-Micron model now graces my stable of flyable models.

The Maxi-Micron is an upscale of the Centuri Micron kit created by Carl/Semroc.
I liked the kits looks and size so I got one out of a storage box and built it.

The model is stock with the exception of adding a ejection gas baffle and longer shock cord (The stock shock cord was probably fine, I just like longer shock cords).
I also replaced the 1/8" launch lug with a 3/16" diameter lug. I felt a rocket this size could use a bit more stability at launch.

Weight/mass w/o motor is 3.2oz/92g. The instructions list a weight of 2.2 oz. I guess that baffle plus a lot of filler, primer and paint add up.

My thanks to Bernard Cawley for answering a few questions I had while building the kit. Bernie builds nice models and his Maxi-Micron flown at NSL 2013 inspired me in part to build one for myself.
