Brief:
A lilliputian scale-down of one of my favorite rockets, the Spudnik. Or, in other words, I've too much time on my hands.

Model Rocket Building: Quest Raptor Build Part 1, Parts
I'm building a few of the discontinued Quest kits while they are still available from vendors. The Shrox kits and this great Raptor design are no longer being produced. The parts were standard Quest fare. The water slide decal sheet didn't have a protective backing sheet and some of the decal ink was left on the instruction sheet. Part E (the tank tube under the main body) had some very deep spirals.

Model Rocket Building: Fliskits Pheord X150 Build Part 1 Parts
Here's all the parts - It's pretty much a flat package except for the engine mount tube. Two of the fin alignment jig sheets were included. The small piece of crepe paper streamer is for the "redneck gas cap" stuck into the gas cap hole. The printing on the self adhesive sheets are glossy and well done. Printed bumper stickers say: "My other saucer is a star ship" and "Poins, Ions or Cryons, nobody rides for free. Through the windshield you can see aliens wearing baseball caps. The kit doesn't include the antenna wires. At one time the wires were included but I guess too many builders had ...

Model Rocket Building: Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane Part 1, Parts
Here's one picked up on Ebay. I'd always thought this would be an interesting build. From 1994, the Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane, kit # 4001. It's a Level 4 build and incorporates some different techniques. All the parts- Two 12" "Tuff-Chute" parachutes. There are plenty of pre-printed fin coverings and the aeroshroud body.

Model Rocket Building: Quest Area 51 UFO Saucer Part 1
I bought three Quest Area 51 Saucer starter kits (with launcher and controllers) for $.99 on Ebay! Shipping charges certainly brought up the price, but still a bargain for the launchers and controllers alone! We've all seen the Quest launchers before, here's some information about assembling the saucer. Here's the upper side of the Area 51 Saucer. Metallic stickers are already in the window areas. The engine hook was set at an angle. I thought the retainer ring would be glued down, but the hook was twisted around until it was straight. (See inset picture) Installing the wire ...
