PRESS RELEASE
FlisKits, Inc: New product announcement
February 20, 2008
FlisKits is proud to introduce three new kits: the futuristic Adfecta, the
"Micro to the MAXX!" Stinger and the booster-enhanced Praetor-II.
FlisKits is proud to announce the release of the
Adfecta class exploratory vessel. Latin for "Aspire", this model is derived from the Latin phrase
"Adfecta ad cealum, et intende non deesse" or "Aspire for the sky, and stain not to fail",
essentially our corporate slogan. This 24mm beauty stands over 2 feet tall, features water slide decals, massive fin
area for a unique look and very stable flights even on E motors as well as one of the most unique balsa adapters ever
offered in rocketry!
The whole idea behind this kit came from William Cooke who was building a Praetor
kit when he decided that it would be cool to derive the Latin equivilant of our most famous slogan. So, working with a
couple of Latin scholars they came up with the above conversion. The whole idea simply took my breath away as a
beautiful name for a kit so this kit was designed around the name, which is very rare.
Counting the strakes, this model has 24 fins (which you have to
cut out, but their are a simple shape), nice large sheet of decal and just a very cool shape. There is also a story
with this kit. It's ficitional origination comes from the universe of the United Solar Planetary Federation and her
often uneasy stellar neighbors the Hobbicrons. The Adfecta, it turns out, is the newest ship from the Hobbicron
Industrial Empire in an effort to change their warring and greedy ways and embrace exploration and new discoveries. The
Adfecta represents the best that all of the neighboring races have to offer and the HIE is offering them to all
participating races at a loss on the stipulation that all discoveries are equally shared with everyone. The back kit
cover art goes into greater detail of this historical move on the part of the Hobbicrons.
Further, there is a 2 page story of the first mission of the USPF Adfecta at the
end of the instructions. Great fun to go with a great kit!
Priced at $27.95 and rated a Skill Level 2.5, the Adfecta is available from our
web and soon from all of our retailers too!
Our newest "Micro to the MAXX!" kit, the MTTM
Stinger is a wonderful downscale of our popular Stingray kit. Making good use of these tiny 6mm motors, the Stinger
features laser cut fins (both 1/16" basswood and 1/32" basswood), water slide decals and a simplifed
construction (as compaired to the current Stingray)
All the detail and fun is there, only in miniature! With a length of a little
more than 6", this little package packs a big punch! Incredibly intricate detail and a wonderful set of full color
decals really makes this a builders kit.
Answering the request of many of our customers to do down scales
of some of our more popular kits, the Stinger is just one of many that have come and yet to come, so keep watch!
Priced at $9.25, the Stinger is available on our web site as well as many fine
retailers around the country!
Working off of the success of the Corona-2 booster accessory,
FlisKits is proud to announce a booster accessory for the Praetor model rocket kit! The Praetor-II can be
purchased separately to augment an existing Praetor model or purchased as a COMBO package where you get the booster and
the Praetor model together (and save a buck!).
Attracting attention due to its massive fin area, the Praetor has long been a
popular model at launch sites around the world. The addition of this new, small finned booster is going to take your
cool looking Praetor and literally send it OFF THE SCALE with regards to looks!
With the booster, this combination sports a solid military
look and many will wonder if it is a scale model. Originating as an anniversary kit for the old Pearl River
conventions, the Praetor has existed unchanged for nearly 20 years. No more! This new booster simply adds an
unparalleled level of excitement to this wonderful design.
Send your Praetor to new heights!
Booster price: $5.95
Combo price: $23.40 ($1.00 less than the combined prices of both the Praetor and Booster kits)
