Quest #1007
Description
Quest’s Commander Flying Model Rocket, is a skill level 1 model which is easy to assembly and flies on 18mm motors. Recovery is by a 24″ streamer. A good first kit for the modeler. Its fin arrangement is what sets it apart from its relatives in the same size category. Instead of three identical fins, this model includes one smaller and two larger fins. To add to the uniqueness of the arrangement, the design calls for the smaller fin to be attached in the more standard “rear swept” fashion and the two larger fins in the opposite manner. The result is a rather futuristic looking space vehicle
