Sometimes you can take a simple model, change it up a bit.
A few improvements and you can make it your own.
At the last Tampa TTRA launch, Lonnie B gave me a Quest Viper kit to play with. Lonnie picked up a bunch of these on a recent purchase on Craig's List. Thanks Lonnie, lets see how we can "hop up" this one!
This would make a pretty good first rocket.
- A molded one piece fin unit with integrated launch lug - in the picture the fin can is shown upside down.
- Plastic nose cone
- Kevlar and elastic shock cord
- White body tube - No painting! (Unless you want to)
Parts of interest:
- Tyvek tape disks for parachute edge reinforcement
- 14" Quest (stiff) parachute (a little large for this model)
- Self adhesive Viper name decal
- Astra Mini Manual of Model Rocketry
