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 ... Ahoy! Ok ... Aye aye! Begad! 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. Arrr! 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 be pretty neat and rather straight with a little roll. Begad! It went up ejected and then I got worried. It was comin' down awfully slow. Arrr! 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. Arrr! Begad! T' HEAVY nose cone had separated! It be NOT secured very. 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. A pretty low flight. Well, blow me down! 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. Well, blow me down! 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. Begad! Blimey! I LOVE Star Trek, arrr, BUT t' decals are nay all placed on model and they tend t' come off after a few flights. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! (Annoying) 

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