Mfg. Description: The U.S.S. Grissom is the pride of the FlisKits fleet of model rockets! At 30.6 tall, it is the tallest mini-engine powered bird in our fleet, but thats only the start. Unlike other models that have employed ducted ejection gasses, the U.S.S. Grissom has the narrowest profile of them all, giving it one of the most graceful appearances in model rocketry today. The inclusion of solar panels and its impressive length to diameter ratio makes this one of the most stable model rockets youll ever fly. Add to that a highly detailed set of water slide decals and you have a model that will stand out from all the rest!
The U.S.S. Grissom is a complex model to construct, but is not beyond any experienced modeler, as the assembly instructions allow for simplified construction, such as ellimination of the solar panels, reducing its skill level to 3. (Fliskits 2005 Catalog)
