birth of FlisKits, Incorporated.

Recommended Motors:

Please read this entire instruction sheet before you begin, so

that you become familiar with each step in constructing the

Triskelion.

READ FIRST: Congratulations! You are about to build a

quality model rocket kit from FlisKits. If this is your first model

rocket then you are in for a real treat. Even if you have built

other model rocket kits, please read on.

The Triskelion kit is designed as a perfect first rocket kit and

the assembly steps should be easy to follow. That does not

mean that this kit will be a simple project. On the contrary, you

will have to carefully read each instruction step with the

associated figure if you are to properly assembly this kit. Even

if you have built other kits, you may find a surprise or two

because all FlisKits model rocket kits are constructed with

wood fins and balsa nose cones which do not appear in many

other popular kits.

Take your time and use this as a good opportunity to learn how

to work with these new materials. This will serve as a big help

as you get into more complicated FlisKits kits.

To assemble this model rocket kit you will need the following

tools and supplies: Hobby knife, white glue (DO NOT use Hot

Glue!), sand paper, masking tape, pencil, and ruler. To finish

this model you will need sand paper, wood filler/sealer, primer

paint and other paints of your choice. Additional items that can

help with the construction include clear plastic wrap,

cellophane tape, and a hole punch.

Now, on to Step One!
