Quest Stiletto Build Part 1, Parts




Here's a great Shrox design introduced in the 2010 Quest catalog.
I understand Shrox likes conical pointy nose cones, the older MPC Nike Smoke nose cone is used here.
This design also used a Shrox standard, the 50mm intake tube underneath.
Here's all the parts:
The 18" 35mm main air frame tube
Two piece Nike Smoke nose cone with tip
Laser cut balsa wing fins
Large decal sheet
1/8" launch lug
18mm engine mount
10" long 50mm intake tube not shown
(I don't know why I didn't include it in the picture)
Some parts of interest:
The 35mm body tube had a discolored spot on it. Oil? I'll have to double check it when the spray paint is applied.
14" parachute has thick off-white shroud lines (replace)
Thin 18mm yellow engine mount tube (replace, more on this later)
The Nike nose cone tip
Engine hook (replace with spring steel hook)
