The Frick-n-Frack is a marvel of rocketry
engineering!
Designed to look like a rather common 6-sided
flying saucer on the pad, the Frick-n-Frack will
surprise all of your rocketry friends when she
stages 40-50 feet in the air, dropping the lower
stage and half of her stabilizing plates and the
sustainer continues on her low flight to
altitudes near 100 feet!

The perfect small field and demo 2-stage
rocket!  Your audience and actually witness
the staging event as it occurs close to the
ground even with the largest motors!  You
don't have to worry about loosing either part
because they are so large and never go very
high to begin with!

Featuring SIX large sheets of precision laser
cut parts, including assembly jigs and highly
detailed instructions, the Frick-n-Frack is an
easy build that will give you outstanding
performance and wow the most jaded
rocketeer!

LOW WIND LAUNCHES!
Just be sure to launch your Frick-n-Frack in
very low winds.   Saucer rockets have a
tendency to weather-cock (turn into the wind) a
great deal and multi-stage saucers are even
MORE prone to do this.  Always launch your
Frick-n-Frack in dead calm and always pointed
STRAIGHT up.
Kit packaging shows the front, back and
side of the packaged Frick-n-Frack.  
You can clearly see the 6 sheets of
laser cut parts that make up the bulk of
this kit.  At over 10" wide, you will be
shocked at how large a kit you get from
so small a package!
This photo shows the entire kit contents
(less documentation).  3 sheets of laser
cut fins, 3 sheets of laser cut stabilizing
plates, two motor tubes, two launch lugs
and an engine block.
Here you can see the assembled
proto type before painting.  Top left
shows the top of the assembled
booster and sustainer.  Top right
shows the underside of this stack.  
Lower left is the sustainer and lower
right is the booster.
Here we have an exciting drag race
between Tony's Frick-n-Frack and
Jim's Frick-n-Frack!  Tony's is the
near one and clearly got "first off the
pad".   Beyond that I don't even
remember the rest of the race.  
Watching these two birds in the air
was just too exciting all on its own!
