Gene Wolski's Flying Frog 3

T' Flyin' Frog 3 is a scratch built rocket.  Some details:

  • 3" diameter LOC airframe with tube coupler internal reinforcement
  • LOC 3.0" avionics bay
  • Cannonball Works RRC2 mini altimeter
  • PML B-09 G-10 fins (0.063")
  • 38mm motor mount with Giant Leap Slimline retainer

T' rocket suffered a main deployment failure on its first flight.  Since t' apogee charge did fire, t' rocket landed fairly softly.  T' payload section did suffer some damage where I had nay installed t' last 3.0" tube coupler reinforcement.  T' double tube construction is indeed tough!  I'm replacin' t' payload section, ya bilge rat, and t' FF3 will fly again soon.

Ju;y 2011 update - t' damaged payload section has been replaced.  I need t' paint t' new payload section (perhaps some new StickerShock frog decals?) and repaint t' nose cone.  T' FF3 is basically ready t' fly again!
