Default Fliskits SP014 - UFFO

I have a confession. For some reason, I never really cared for the cup rockets like the Decafeinator and this one. I built them and they performed great, they were especially popular with kids and visitors to our launches but, for some reason, I wasn't all that into them. That said, they were and are excellent rockets. I will never forget launching the Decafeinator at an exhibition and watching it fly straight up, deploy it's chute and drift down safely only to realize that the chute was hanging down and the rocket itself was so light that it was the "recovery device". Well on this one, that it the literal plan! It flies up on 18mm power and you better hope there is no wind because it WILL drift. It is new and unopened.

I am asking $14

This kit is offered for sale in an effort to liquidate my collection of kits and is being offered via cross postings on The Rocketry Forum and Ye Olde Rocket Forum. The price indicated is what I have determined by looking for evidence of similar sales but, admittedly, might reflect a poor judgement on my part. I'm just doing the best that I can. The price does NOT include shipping. Interested persons are invited to contact me via PM and I will calculate the shipping. Payment is expected by means of PayPal, Zelle or Venmo. My intention is to make shipments twice per week after confirming receipt of funds. I will try to give the most accurate descriptions I am able to provide and will happily answer any specific questions either by PM or within the post thread.

I'm trying to be fair and honor a "first come, first serve" precedence when dealing with inquiries. That involves juggling messages I see while at work at the hospital coming from both TRF and YORF. That started out easy but got more complicated as there were more and more rockets listed. I made some mistakes and for that I am sorry.

I also don't mind holding rockets as you wait for more to become available. This does help with shipping costs and nobody has been more horrified than I over the current postal rates. That said, I am going to have to change one thing. I am only going to set aside "sold" rockets. I tried it the other way and a few times I was left in the lurch when others were interested in a rocket. That was only a mild annoyance. What I cannot tolerate is the mistakes that I made in selling something that had been promised. With my faulty memory and hectic schedule, the only way to prevent this when so many rockets are up for sale (with hundreds more to come) is to strictly segregate the sold stuff from the unsold stuff. A hold with an intent to buy now gets 24 hours, barring exigent circumstances, after that, it's back on the market.

I used to tell Mom, "...I want to fly rockets when I grow up!"

She said, "Make up your mind, you can't do both!"

This is a fun kit requiring different construction techniques, namely the use of a hot glue gun.

For those still wanting it, the reconstituted FlisKits is selling it again.
