Richard (Dick) Nelson.  Shop teacher, educator, model rocket enthusiast.

He had a goal of bringing quality, creative education to children in unexpected ways.  He is still fulfilling that goal, as a matter of fact.

However, back in the 70's, 80's and even into the 90's, he had a special focus for creative education.  Namely as founder and host to the largest annual model rocket convention this country has ever known, The Pearl River MOD-Roc convention.

Jim Flis had the honor of designing the commemorative model rocket kits that were given out to attendees of these conventions, taking over where Howard Kuhn left off.  It is with great pride and honor that FlisKits is able to bring the D-Nelson Tomahawk back into circulation to bring you a small piece of rocketry history as well as a darn fine kit!
