This is my Fliskits Tres, modified and renamed Three To One.

It looks normal enough on the pad, it looks normal enough soon after launch, but it doesn't look normal about two seconds later. The top section doesn't separate to deploy a parachute, it separates to stage. :) With a booster that size, quickmatch is needed to ensure upper stage ignition, which accounts for some of the bits in the final photo.

That is awesome. Is this a scratch build?

Only the fins ,you have to supply your own stock, Basswood in my case ,but the rest is all FlisKit ,I have the smaller 18mm version also....it`s a great flyer !

I`ll find a pic of the other version.

Here is the original 18mm version of the Flis TRES.

Wish I would have taken more care and time with the finishing and paint......but boy.....this bugger sure rips of the pad and flies great and straight.

Fliskits Tres (13mm) (CL003-13) Basic Information.

Fliskits

MODEL NAME: Tres 13mm Also known as:

NUMBER: CL003-13

Introduced:
Final Year:
Designer: Jim Flis

Type: Sport, Cluster
Motor Mount: 3x13mm
Recovery: Parachute
Stages: 1
Length: 34.52""
Diameter: 1.325"
Span: 5.9"
Weight:

Mfg. Description: The popularity of the 13mm & 24mm versions of the Deuce's Wild engine mount kit has led FlisKits to extend this idea to the Tres engine mount kit.

The originator of the canted motor model rocket kit, FlisKits is proud to offer these exciting engine mount kits in the hope that they spark the imagination in the rocketry community.

If you are looking for JUST the engine mount kits, you can follow this link to our selection of Engine Mounts.

When we displayed these new Tres engine mount kits in up scaled and down scaled versions of the Tres the reaction was instant and we began receiving requests to kit these two versions of the Tres.

With a long list of kits that FlisKits wants to get out in the coming months and years, it was not practical to put such versions of the Tres on the schedule, however we're doing our best to meet the rocketry community half way!

We are proud to be able to offer Parts Packs for the 13mm and the 24mm version of the Tres (If you wish to have the 18mm version you can still purchase the full kit). These parts packs are NOT complete kits, but provide the custom items as well as the body tubes needed to assembly exacting versions of this exciting rocket in either 13mm (down scale) or 24mm (up scale). The contents of each parts pack is detailed in the table below:

NOTE: It is recommended that you build the KIT version of the Tres before you attempt these Parts Packs. The experience gained from this will go a long way towards helping you with successful scaling of this exciting design. (Fliskits 2013 Web Ad)

My funky, well loved, Tres 24 on D12-3s. It's getting pretty wiggly up there. I plan to launch it on E's or F's at Sod Blaster. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of it after any number of repairs. I love those triple exhausts!
