March 16, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Quest Aerospace, Inc. Pagosa Springs, Colorado – QUEST Announces the Quest Rocket Design Contest in conjunction with the launch of individual parts sales on its website www.questaerospace.com. A “click” on PARTS from the homepage takes you to a landing page with a wide selection of body tubes in metric sizes 15mm to 50mm, plastic nose cones, injection molded fins, centering rings, and plastic reducers. All of the Quest parts are available in single piece quantities and are value priced.

In conjunction with the launch of the PARTS sales, QUEST has announced The QUEST Rocket Design Contest. Winners will receive $300 worth of Quest merchandise. Entries will be judged on originality, neatness, and completeness. Full Contest Rules are posted on the Quest website.

This is great news, thanks!

Speaking of Quest parts and the cool things you can build....Lynell Jackson built a really cool rocket at NARAM 48 in Phoenix from Quest parts called the Time Twister. She flew it once again yesterday using the first of her long burn Quest C6-3 motors. The flight was astounding and there was a decent crowd on hand to view it.

It uses 3 canted motors to spin the rocket during boost and it has a large central tube that fits loose over a launch rod. She's flown it on the previous C6-3 motors and even drop staged C6-0 to C6-3, but the Chinese long burn C6-3 motors are the best. Best liftoff weight, best igniters, long burn, perfect ejection charge timing, smoke, crackle, etc.

I think there are photos on the NARAM 50 website (she shipped it to VA for that NARAM and flew it on the sport range).

Y'know - it occurs to me that Quest's 20mm tubing (with a matching nose cone) would be perfect for a NAR sanctioned payload section. This may have just made payload rockets a lot easier!

Thanks Bill. Both are great ideas. Good pricing too....shipping will be a killer, but if you order multiples, or with motors, kits, etc. it won't be so bad.

Great news, Bill. Thank you!

Thanks Bill!

Question about the PNC50 & 50mm parts. Will the new kits to be released for the ThunderJets be offered in the 50mm tube size?

I noticed there are no 50mm engine mount assemblies available. The PNC50 looks nice and $3.00 ..... these prices are very reasonable.

The prototypes shown at NARAM-50 used the 50mm tubes and cones, as will the production kits.

I can't seem to get the link for the contest rules to work.
