FlisKits will be announcing two new rocket kits at the upcoming NARCON 2010 at Clark University in Worcester, MA in the middle of March (next weekend).
Today we completed the build of the Nell, a scale model of Goddard's (and the worlds) first liquid fueled rocket. Inarguably the most historically significant rocket ever built and flown!
Never before produced in kit form, this rocket is a MUST HAVE for anyone interested in scale, history, odd-rocs and/or challenging builds! This is a rocketry first, folks
Nell was flown on March 16th, 1926 in Auburn, MA.
As the sponsor of NARCON 2010, FlisKits is donating 30 of these kits (along with 30 of the L-13 rocket kit). In addition to this, we are having our own Tony Vincent construct a Nell and an L-13 which will be donated to historian Mott Linn to be put on display at the Goddard Exhibit at Clark University.
Wait! There's more! The Nell rocket that Tony has built will be FLOWN before it is donated. And it will be flown on the SAME SPOT that Robert Goddard flew HIS Nell, in Auburn, MA, just 2 days before the 84th anniversary of Goddard's historic flight!
Kathy and I just finished kitting up the first batch of 150 of these wonderful kits (see attached pictures). We also did another 50 of the L-13 so that we can leave some of both behind to fill orders that we expect to come in while we're away.
Keep watch over our website as we expect to have this available for purchase before the beginning of NARCON, later next week!
