This is a TALL one! At 38" tall, a little hard to fit in the camera frame.
It's a bargain at the current retail price of $16.99
Lots of stickers - the time consuming part of the build. I took some extra time to be sure they were centered and in line.
On the Quest Quick Kits, there is a retention ring which locks the 18mm motor in place with a quarter turn to the right.
This was a Show Build for Quest so the tubes got a seam fill and new orange paint to be a closer match to the orange in the stickers.
Sometimes you want an easy to build model - A large Demo rocket you won't have to worry about if it lands in in the street! How many of your balsa finned rockets have dings and road rash? Quest body tubes are thick and these plastic based kits can take a beating.
Do you have any suggestions/pictures of applying liquid plastic cement, to limit running all over the place?
ReplyDeleteHi John,
DeleteLiquid Plastic Cement is thin - buy it in a bottle that has a small brush attached to the cap.
Liquid Plastic Cement tends to disappear after applying. A coat of spray paint and you shouldn't see it.
If you are referring to CA glues:
