| The US TOG is a FlisKits first. An up-scale of a micromaxx® kit! When developing our micromaxx® line of model rocket kits, we wanted to do more than just down-scale our popular models. We wanted to originate some cool NEW designs too. The popular micromaxx® TOG is just such a design. Problem is, it was TOO cool. We very quickly began getting requests for an upscale of this exciting design. Your requests have been heard and we present you with the US TOG! A 24mm beast with style to spare! Just like her micromaxx® cousin, the US TOG represents one of the most stylish models ever created! A mix of rearward and forward swept fins/wings, with wing pods, ram jets and all sorts of sloped (scalloped) tubes. Sure to excite even the most jaded sport rocketeer! Further, with the increased size we were able to explore increased complexity and detail. To that end, the US TOG sports a pair of incredibly details ram jet tubes with ram jet intakes made from intricately cut (laser) fins from 0.025" this card stock. This level of detail is unprecedented and results in a very sharp looking model. |
| US TOG on the pad and ready to go! |
| The image on the left shows one of the early proto type Ram Jet Intake assemblies and also how it looks when installed in the Ram Jet tube (one of the wing pods found on each wing). A total of 8 fins on each intake assembly, the fins are designed and cut such that they conform to the angle slope of the front of the Ram Jet tube. A truly elegant detail to enhance a truly elegant design. |
