I couldn't resist, what with an upcoming launch in Amesbury, MA this weekend (CMASS) ...

I decided to make good use of these new Tres engine mounts and make an up and down scale version of the kit. In this photo I show the mini Tres, kit Tres (modified to use centrally located motors) and the maxi-Tres (that thing is HUGE!

Hope to have them ready for flight for tomorrow's launch. They'll fly nekid (as many of my models do) as I haven't had the time nor the weather to get any paint on'em...

Jim,

Your slip is showing!

What is the little one in front?

Is that possibly the new design you were hinting at to come out in Nov-Dec?

If so, will it be a 24mm?

Inquiring minds and all that....

G.D.

Oh, you'll see it tomorrow... I just got the recovery device installed so she's all ready to go... no name yet, but... she is kewl looking, that's for sure. I'll start a thread on it based on how it flies tomorrow... LOL

The two Tres (mini and maxi) will be flying as well

I'm telling you, folks. You GOTTA make it out to a CMASS launch! Lots of fun

That Tres needs three E9's Or even better, three of those Pro24 Smoky Sam F motors

Are you going to carry nose cones for the maxi-Tres ? or even better have a kit for it?

The nose cone and adapter for both the mini and maxi version will be available soon (I have'em just haven't had time to get them on line...). I am considering a bundled pack where you would get the cone, adapter and motor mount at a discount and a download of the other parts needed to build the model, including fin patterns and such.

Thoughts?

That might be interesting as a mass build thread. Get them all done for a December launch!

The two Tres (mini and maxi) turned in great flights at our launch yesterday.

The Maxi-Tres had an odd boost though and we discovered why upon recovery. Poor glue joints... One of the engine tubes RIPPED itself loose during boost! I'm impressed that the model flew as well as it did, considering.

Here are a couple of pix of the mini and maxi on ignition. I hope to have my photo album up later today.

The bundled pack is a great idea! Count me in. If it works for out for you, the idea might be extended to some of your other designs. There are a lot of potential upscalers out there.
