The micromax motors aren't on the shelves around these parts (VT) anymore, but I've still got some stock from last year.

This'll be just the thing for us forested folk who have trouble finding anything bigger than a tree lined softball field to fly on.

Folks,

I just talked with Brian about this thread and we came up with the following offer:

If this group chooses a Kit-Bash of the FlisKits U.S.S. Grissom for DESCON 12, FlisKits will prepare a modified U.S.S. Grissom for the occasion.

The modified kit would contain ALL of the parts of the standard kit (including the large sheet of silk screened waterside decals) but would contain no documentation. Missing from the kit would be the Hang Tag, Color Cover Art, Instructions and Fin Pattern Sheet. Seeing as the goal her would be to bash some other model from the kits parts, these items would be of little use and simply add cost to the kit.

In addition, this modified kit would be reduced in price 15% (or $25.45

- more than a $4.00 savings over retail). This special would be reserved for those who are participating in the DESCON 12 contest and would be available for the duration of the contest. For those of you who would prefer getting all of the documentation with your kit would still be able to order the full up kit from our web site at our regular price.

This offer will go into effect if this event is chosen for DESCON 12. Shipping may be delayed a day or two beyond our normal next day shipping as these kits would be kitted to order for the most part.

If this happens I will post instructions for how to order your modified U.S.S. Grissom Kit-Bash kit.

Another consideration is that this month (September) is our 1st anniversary of business and as a "thank you" to all of our customers we are offering free shipping for the month of September. Details will be posted on our web site shortly.

So let us know what you folks decide! jim

Just started my own version of a Fliskits BFF. I have recently purchased and built a Corona, Dueces Wild and Richter Wrecker...Love these kits....they are great.

You got some great kits there! The Corona design was the anniversary kit of the last NEMROC (New England Model ROcketry Convention) in 1990, so it has an interesting history. The Deuce's Wild! has become a world-wide phenomenon and the Richter Recker is just kewl *S*

Glad you are enjoying them! jim
