Quest Future Launch Vehicle #3013 Build, Part 1, Parts


All the parts - This is going to be an interesting build. While the model will build and fly fine as supplied, I'll be doing some light weight upgrades for stronger assemblies.
The tube wraps are rolled up, inside the large 40mm diameter Quest tube.

Parts of interest:
Some of these will be switched out.

On the left are the center core sheet for the 3 ply laminate fins - 110 lb. card stock, very thin.
The engine hook isn't spring steel. The thin yellow motor mount tube was cut short, by about 3/16".
Three small SRB nose cones are there, but I only got one nose cone shoulder coupler!
The centering ring outside diameter is small, a loose fit in the main air frame tube.
