Quest Icarus Build #Q2006, Part 1, Parts




I built four Icarus kits for Quest last year. This will be a quick blog build.

The Icarus is a three fin nose cone model. Tall with a good sized payload section.

"Quest reissued kits with a 24mm engine mounts to use the new 24mm Q-Jets. The 30mm diameter SPORT and LIGHTNING. The ICARUS reissue kit has a 35mm body. All three kits will include an 18mm adapter."
I've already started to group the four kits in zip bags.

The yellow tubes are the thin wall Quest motor mount tubes. The centering rings are red, the engine blocks are blue.

I like the Quest round elastic shock cords.
Below the shock cord is the nose cone bases.


Balsa for four kits.

Two "show" models will get basswood fins. 
The flight "demo" models will use the balsa fins.

It's not mentioned in the instructions, but the lug standoffs are not used.




Oh boy!
I get to assemble eight parachutes!

The extras are for other Quest builds.
