Flight Log - 2013-12-07 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane

OOP Quest kit from 1994. Bought on Ebay for $2.25!

Fun build, some modifications required to recover horizontally. Large "aeroshroud" body.

Flight Date: 2013-12-07
Rocket Name: Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane
Kit Name: Quest - X-30 Aerospace Plane {Kit} (4001) [1994-?]
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen
Motors: Estes C6-3
Launch Site: Orlando R.O.C.K.

Beautiful straight boost with no roll. The two parachutes have never both ejected so I took one out before the flight. The nose cone is so heavily weighted it didn't want to descend horizontally.
