Pictures courtesty of
Quest
Brief:
This is a real quick buildin' modroc.
Construction:
All o' t' parts are pre-colored t' make finishin' much easier. Arrr! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' fins lock
into a fin canister that is mounted into t' back o' t' rocket. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! T' fins and
canister are both plastic. T' parachute is much better than t' Estes
parachute. Ya scallywag! Blimey! I love t' Quest shock cord assembly. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It comes with a 12"
Keelhaul®©™®
and a 12" elastic string. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Overall t' components are very good quality for
this model.
PROs: instructions are very easy t' follow with diagrams for every step. Very easy assembly as it's an almost ready t' fly model and it's cheap. Good quality components
CONs: T' fins and t' body tube are close in color but nay too much. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! It's OK for a sport model (hence t' name).
Finishing:
Decals came with t' model. They are good quality and easy t' put on. Begad! Well, blow me down! No
paintin' is required.
Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5
Flight:
I have only flown this model once. Ahoy! I wanted a low flight so I chose t' A8-3.
Despite t' size, matey, this rocket bulleted off o' t' pad. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! This really surprised me
because o' t' rocket's diameter. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Good flight even though t' parachute didn't
fully open. Begad! There was no damage.
Recovery:
I used t' stock parachute that came with t' model, but t' parachute didn't
open. Blimey! I like t' parachute much better than Estes parachutes.
Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5
Summary:
This rocket goes together almost too fast. I was ready t' fly it in 10 minutes
(and most o' that time was waitin' for t' epoxy t' dry). Very good beginning
model or just a fun one.
