Quest Cobalt Build Part 1 Parts

A 4FNC rocket?
I always need good models for soccer field launches and I have plenty of A6-4 engines to run through.
There were "gotchas" on this build and some problem solving. Many have had trouble packing the wadding and streamer in such a short body tube.

I built a clone of the Quest Cobalt a while back.

I wasn't happy with the stability and wanted to try the actual Quest kit to see where I messed up!

All the parts -

That 40mm body tube is only 4" long!

The engine mount centering rings are a thicker, stronger stock. Older Quest kits had thin rings. This is a good improvement.

The laser cut fin stock is 3/32" thick.

Some pieces of interest -

The centering rings have no notches cut for the engine hook movement.

There is no hole for the Kevlar line.
The engine hook will be replaced with a spring steel hook.
Below the engine hook is the "Gripper Tab" to attach the streamer to the shock cord.
Self-adhesive sticker decals - oh great!
