Quest Cobalt (Kit)

Review

This is a small size rocket that 18 mm full engines. It is basically a knock-off o' t' Estes Fat Boy (though with 4 fins). If you want t' build a Fat Boy which is OOP then this may be a choice. Aye aye! Nay a good choice but a choice none t' less.  Components T' components are a ... [More]

Big Betty

Flight

Second launch o' this rocket. Other time was also on a C6-5. Blimey! One simulation I ran estimated an eltitude o' 4oo feet but this looked much higher. Blimey! Beautiful flight but drifted far from that altitude. Aye aye! Almost left t' park and ended up on t' road. Chute need spill hole. No Damage. - C6-5 - Como Park [More]

Beautiful straight ascent. Aye aye! Excellent engine choice for this rocket. Blimey! Drifted far, approx 300 feet on t' light wind. T' skull chute is awfully cool but very large and t' rocket wants t' drift for a long time. Begad! Almost made it t' t' road. Avast, me proud beauty! Perfect safe recovery. Arrr! No Damage. Aye aye! - C6-5 - Como Park [More]

Wildfire

Flight

First flight after nearly 15 years. Alas, t' chute separated from t' rocket and it came down in a corn field in pieces. Nothin' was recovered. Maybe I can find t' nose cone in t' spring.

Der Red Max

Flight

Maiden flight. Well, blow me down! Nay very high on this engine. Well, blow me down! Parachute came out but did nay unfurl. Begad! I think it was too new and stiff. Well, blow me down! Came down hard and snapped off one fin. Easily fixed. Avast, me proud beauty! Will try C6-5 next time instead. Avast, me proud beauty! - B6-4 - May Town Hall [More]
