More excitement from the folks at FlisKits!  Two new kits and a new product accessory begins our new year of fun and challenges in the world of model rocketry!  If ever your rocketeer buddies tell you that everything that you can do with model rocketry has been done, invite them to check out FlisKits so they can know the truth!

To start the 2008 season right, FlisKits is proud to introduce:

MTTM Stinger: 
Our newest Micro to the MAXX^TM offering is a wonderful down scale of our popular Stingray model rocket kit.  Featuring laser cut basswood fins, water slide decals and simplified construction, the Stinger is sure to make an exciting addition to any micro fleet (or ANY fleet, for that matter!).  Standing about 6.5" tall, the Stinger continues the tradition from FlisKits to provide you with micro models that perform like real model rockets, offers challenges and provides results!  Kitted with the finest materials and best instructions in the industry, the Stinger is the proud new guy on the micro block!

Adfecta:
"Adfecta ad caelum, et intende non deesse" or "Aspire for the sky, and strain not to fail", the Latin version of our most famous slogan "Aim for the sky, and try not to miss^TM".  With special thanks to William Cooke, the rocketeer that helped us to realize this version of our slogan, FlisKits is proud to announce the ship that bears the name!  The Adfecta is a stunningly beautiful ship featuring massive yet stylish fin area, water slide decals, unique turned balsa nose cone and one of the most unique balsa adapters ever offered in a kit!  Standing over 2 feet tall and powered by 24mm motors, the Adfecta will highlight any fleet!  Beautiful in the air and on display, explore the universe of the United Solar Planetary Federation and the Hobbicron Industrial Empire with your very own scientific exploratory vessel!

Praetor-II:
Recognizing the success of the Corona-2 booster accessory, FlisKits is proud to offer a booster for our popular Praetor kit!  Featuring smaller than expected fins, this stylish booster will add true attitude to your Praetor model as no other accessory could have!  Giving the Praetor a powerful military look, this combination looks as good in the air as it does on display!  This booster kit, purchased separately, can be adapted to existing Praetor models and can also be purchased as a COMBO which includes the Praetor kit at a discount.  If you've enjoyed the Praetor it's time to give her some real air time!  If you've never explored this kit, now is the time to do it.

Look for our booth at NARCON 2008 with more new product announcements!

Announcements for December 2007

FlisKits is proud to continue our tradition of bringing you new and exciting kits that cover a wide range of interests, skills, and challenges.  To close our 5th full year of operation, FlisKits bring to you the following exciting additions to our growing fleet of model rocket kits:

Rose-A-Roc
From the mind of Art Rose and the engineers at FlisKits we have the fist ever kit version of one of the most recognized competition helicopter designs ever designed!  Continuing on from where Art Rose left off, we took his winning design and not only packaged it in kit form but upgraded the design.  Our upgrades stay true to the original design while taking the mystery and much of the complexity out so that this exciting design can be built by a much wider audience. 

Designed for quick flight prep, the Rose-A-Roc comes with enough cotton "burn thread" for over 100 flights!  Boosting straight and high on all motors, the model coasts to apogee and when the ejection charge burns through the cotton thread, three 12" rotor blades unfold and deploy.  The model will seem to hang there for a moment and then begin to spin, picking up incredible rotational speed, as she gently floats to the ground!

Gone is the complex rotor hub assembly.  Replaced by a 3-part precision laser cut hub, this one innovation cuts assembly time nearly in half!  Other modification features include a custom, pre-drilled nose cone designed specifically for the Rose-A-Roc, high quality SIG FAI sport rubber actuators, double walled ejection chamber, precision centering rings and even a clever method of attaching a launch lug for those without access to exotic launch equipment such as towers and piston launchers.

Check this exciting kits out today!  Even as a sport model, the Rose-A-Roc is an exciting build and a stunning performer!

Micro to the MAXX!^TM
Two exciting new micro models expand our growing fleet of micro models.  Keep watch over 2008 as even MORE excitement reaches down to the micro level!

Teeny Triskelion
At the request of many customers, FlisKits has micro-sized our popular Triskelion kit and is proud to announce the Teeny Triskelion!  Standing only 4" tall and featuring laser cut fins, this micro beast will scream into the air very fast and return gently via a long, bright mylar streamer!

Mudwasp
Introducing our second Skill Level 1 (Beginner) micro kit, the Mudwasp features laser cut fins and a unique tube-fin/standard fin arrangement that results in ultra stable flights, super easy assembly and a nice bulky (for a FlisKits micro model) model that is perfect for even very small fields!
