Quest Big Dog Kit
 

Thanks to the efforts of Nettie at Quest Aerospace, the Big Dog kit I ordered on Wednesday arrived at my doorstep today (Saturday). :)

The kit parts come packed in a sturdy cardboard box.

This model is next on my "To Build" list. :D

Any news on the supposedly "coming soon" BP SU E and F motors ?
I'm MUCH more interested in those than any of their kits.

Agreed.

Definately looking forward to those.

will be great for the 2650 and other old school hpr stuff like the Sonic 36 2 stage :)

bring em on ! :)

Can you post some specifications on this kit?

Okay, George. ;)

The new Quest byline on the box is interesting: "Shaping the Future of Model Rocketry"

I'll start building it this week.

Hmmm, 1.92x25.4=48.768mm - not very metric. Is this the same as anyone else's tubes? AT 1.9"?

.

These are all 24mm motors, right? So the Big Dog came with a 24mm motor tube? Or 28mm and a 28-24 adapter?

[Edit]That is, does this rocket support the forthcoming 28mm motors?

Doug

.

oops... D12-3

have to assume this is the 50mm tubing Quest lists on thier site, along with the nosecone - just got some with my last order , just to check it out .
NOT the same as Aerotech 1.88, if I recall correctly, this was slightly larger then AT, but I;m not at home presently to double check .

I'm a little confused, too.
The available Quest 50 mm body tube is 1.97" outside diameter.
1.92" is the inside diameter of the 50mm tube.

I'm not making a judgement on the dimensions, I don't have the kit in front of me. I'm just curious.
