Rated as a Skill Level 1.5, the Avalear is a perfect 2nd or 3rd rocket kit to build!
Working hard to bring you the best that model rocketry has to offer, FlisKits is proud to
bring you our newest beginner kit, the Avalear!

With a desire to use our beginner kits to teach the builder different skills on their way to
higher skill levels, the Avalear focuses on cutting fins.

The Avalear comes with a sheet of balsa fin stock and patterns for the two different shape
fins (6 fins in all).  The fin shapes are simple in design making cutting with a straight edge
quite easy.  

Additionally, the kit includes a BT-19 dummy motor tube that is glued to a Fin Alignment
Template to make aligning the fins a breeze!

The end result is a fairly easy build, a sharp looking rocket and new skills that you can
apply to your next model rocket kit!


The Avalear is also the commemorative kit of the 2008 New England Model Rocketry
Convention (NEMROC '08) held in Amesbury, MA in October of 2008.  The simplified build
made it the perfect choice for the event build session and following launch.  Originally one of
3 different designs from several years ago that eventually lead to the Triskelion kit, the
Avalear would be a good choice after learning the skills taught with the Triskelion.
