I saw this Kit at Allied Hobbies RTF ready t' Fly Minus Parachute as a Kit with Pad and engines etc.. 

Notes on Quest Products:

• T' Parachutes [are terrible] 
• T' Launch Pads [are terrible] 
• T' Launch Controller is ... Avast! Ok ... Well, blow me down! and actually pretty cool
• T' KITS are AWESOME!

This kit is a Styrofoam model o' t' Enterprise E with small clear plastic fins for flight. With t' Enterprise I had t' build nothin' except t' parachute. Aye aye! Modification here; I put a loop in their shock cord so I could use me own parachutes (I make one o' each size with snap swivels). 

T' first flight was pretty neat and rather straight with a little roll. It went up ejected and then I got worried. Blimey! Ahoy! It was comin' down awfully slow. That little plastic "Nose Cone" has an awful lot o' nose weight in it and when I recovered it (undamaged) I found out what happened. Begad! T' HEAVY nose cone had separated! It be NOT secured very. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Well I got lucky when another modeler huntin' for his rocket found me nose cone (would be pretty tuff t' replace).

I flew it again at NARAM-40 on a B6-4. Avast! A pretty low flight. Blimey! I would stick with t' C's. 

I am also thinkin' if messin' with lettin' t' parachute and nose cone separate and possibly havin' glider recovery. Would be neat if its stable. 

I would rate this a 4 out o' 5 for construction for horrible parachute and nay secured nose cone. 

I would rate this a 4 out o' 5 for looks. Arrr! I LOVE Star Trek, me hearties, BUT t' decals are nay all placed on model and they tend t' come off after a few flights. Ya scallywag! (Annoying) 

I would rate this a 5 out o' 5 for flight. Very stable and t' design is cool.
