a'yup, this is it folks... 
A TRF Pre-Announcement of a new kit from FlisKits!
The much talked about *secret* kit that was going to be announced with the Tres...
Ever since we opened our doors folks have been talking about our OverDue promotion and the OverDue kits (see: https://fliskits.com/services/overdue_promotion_details.htm )
People like this design, they like the shape and style of the rocket and the unique cut of the tube fins. They liked it so much that some begged to have their order deliberately delayed in the hopes of winning one. Some have asked for detailed design specs so that they could clone it. Some have considered cloning it just from the photographs from those select few who *have* received one and actually built it!
Well, FlisKits is here to serve the rocketry community and our customers. We did not, do not and Will Not ever offer the "OverDue" for retail sale. That would defeat the purpose of our promotion as well as cheat those select customers who have earned the right to own an authentic OverDue. But we had to do something.
So we created a stretch limo version. We shortened one tube (so that you can't clone an OverDue from this kit) and lengthened another. Since this version is SO much longer than the original, not to mention that this design is Long Over Due for release, naming this bird was a simple matter.
As with the Tres, this kit is slated to be formally announced on site this weekend as a pre-announcement.
IMPORTANT: Shortly after the FlisKits site announcement, we WILL be able to take pre-orders for the Long OverDue with the following restrictions:
1) The ship date is not firm and is subject to change.
2) The "OverDue" promotion will not apply to pre-orders (we're learning )
We understand the desire to be able to pre-order our kits but also have to recognize that we do not have control over the shippers that our vendors may use. These production and ship dates are based on scheduled ship dates of the materials needed to produce this kit. For this reason, we are letting you know up front that delays in shipping your order are distinctly possible and that the buyer accepts this risk.
Also, depending on order volume, *your* order may not ship on the 5th, even if the product ships on the 5th. All orders will be shipped in the order that they are received.
Attached is a photo of me holding the proto-type:
