Big Betty (2)

QUEST Model #1014

Description

This is a modification of Quest Big Betty. The centering rings were beefed up with wooden instead of cardboard and epoxy was used instead of glue. The engine block was left out so a longer motor could be used. This will allow for a higher impulse motor.
