Quest Viper Build Part 1 Parts

I know, a level 1 kit? Why not!
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
