Build History

• 04/21/2006 – Purchased Quest Terrier-Orion from Hobbylinc for $10.39. (Retail $12.99)
• 07/30/2006 – Made a copy of fin marking guide, cut it out and marked the upper and lower body tubes for fin and launch lug placement guidelines. The guide marks were extended to 6″. A 1/2″ mark was placed on the guide from the read of the body tube so the fins would be 1/2″ forward of the rear edge on the body tube. Each of the four fins were removed from the fin stock using a hobby knife. The root edge of each fin was sanded smooth to remove the tabs. The leading edge was sanded round and the trailing edge was tapered. The fins were glued along the guide lines on the lower and upper body tubes. The engine clip was inserted into the slit in the engine tube. and held in place with masking tape. Both end of the engine mount tube were marked 1/2″ from the ends for placement of the centering rings. The centering rings were glued and filleted in place. The Kevlar was placed along side the engine clip and under the centering ring prior to placement of the centering ring. The Kevlar ran the length of the clip to the inside edge.
