I received the Quest parts order, but the body tubes (T20 and T35) were the regular, white-overwrap kraft paper tubes, which are fine (maybe they're shipping out these to make room for the MPC/AVI-type tubing, or maybe they get their tubes from multiple manufacturers?). What shape is their new 30 mm blow-molded nose cone with the molded-in attachment lug? I didn't see it on their website, but I know that they're still getting all of their parts up on the site (their new motor mount tubes and "new-size" centering rings weren't on it before). Also:
They're now out of the old MPC/AVI/AVI Astroport-type scale Tomahawk plastic fin units (which isn't surprising, since I'd seen them listed as a "Limited Quantity" item on the Quest website for a year or more). "That mold is old" (literally), but cast resin and 3D printed duplicates can be made. They substituted (at no extra charge, even though they cost more) the slip-on, T20-size "Tomahawk-like" fin units that they use in their Starhawk kits.
