well folks, i've formally announced the DOM in several places (those of you who are members of other groups may see this.)
In TRF i feel like so much a part of the family that I tend to be far less formal around here, but thought you folks would like (and deserve) the formal announcement (this coinsides with an update to our main page at
https://fliskits.com )
================
FlisKits, based in Merrimack, NH, would like to announce their Design of
the Month contest.
There have been design of the month contests in countless industries,
but most notably in the modeling industry. These exciting contests were
brought to our hobby thanks to Vern Estes when he introduced them to us
in 1967.
This hobby has been blessed with this sort of "Engineering" event for
many years, in one form or another, by many manufacturers. There have
been many discussions about such an event being revisited by one
manufacturer or another. A strong desire for a return of the DOM. A
desire from BAR's because they remember them so fondly or are excited at
the prospect of their children (or themselves) being able to enter such
a contest. A desire from new rocketeers who've only *heard* of such
contests. A yet to be discovered desire in that budding rocketeer, just
joining our ranks.
Well, it's back! Maybe not the same way you remember. Maybe not from
the manufacturer you expected. But it is back. And with a twist. Go
to
https://fliskits.com/ and click on SERVICES then CONTESTS to read all
about our DOM and how you can earn a chance to have YOUR design
professionally manufactured to the enjoyment of all.
As with all of our products, promotions and efforts to support this
hobby and our business, feedback is always welcome at

Aim for the sky and try not to miss!
