| The Nanite represents over a year of design, research and modification to bring you a micro sized slide-wing rocket glider that set the NAR 1/8A Rocket Glider record even before it was available for retail sale! Setting new standards in the world of micro rocketry, the Nanite is a complex build, but not beyond any rocketeer with a lot of experience with Skill Level 2 kits and willing to take the time needed to really read and understand the instruction steps and then take the time to fabricate each part as described. The biggest challenge will be working with such small parts on a rocket with moving sub-assemblies! Shattering the previous NAR record for 1/8A rocket glide of 34 seconds with a stunning 49.38 seconds, the Nanite is poised to shatter even this high mark. |
Kit packaging:
Unlike the other model in the FlisKits Micro to the
MAXXTM line of model rocket kits, the Nanite is
packaged much like our standard line of kits.
This is mainly due to the large format for the instructions.
Unlike our other kits, where a single page of images with
limited text is adequate to assemble the kit, the Nanite
required 8 full pages of instruction, figures and flight prep.
Possibly the only kit in the industry where the instructions
outweigh the model! This level of detail helps to assure
you success when tackling this build!

| Boost and glide modes: This image shows the Nanite rigged for launch (top of photo) and as she appears during the glide phase. A "burn thread" is used to hold the wing assembly back at the tail, bringing the CP (Center of Pressure) back far enough to assure stability during boost. The motors ejection charge burns this string allowing the wings to move forward under the tension of an elastic band. (NOTE: This is a photo of an early proto type and may not match the production kit) |
