Default FSI parts at Quest!

Hello All,

I was just buying some parts on Quest's website when I came across an FSI part--a 21 mm motor mount tube (and also 24 mm and 29 mm motor mount tubes), see: http://www.questaerospace.com/Motor...06_3447168.aspx . They also have 21 mm tubing centering rings for their 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, and 50 mm body tubes (see: http://www.questaerospace.com/Cente...06_3447169.aspx ). Plus, they're again selling their long 13 mm motor-to-18 mm tubing adapter mount (see: http://www.questaerospace.com/index...=3447168&Page=2 ). These are certainly interesting developments...

sorry to disappoint you but those are parts for their 20mm D5-x motors they used to import from China. 21 mm is the outside diameter of the motor tube.

I'm not disappointed at all; I'd rather suspected that that was the case. The parts (especially the motor mount tube) are the correct size for use in FSI rockets (CORRECTION: the 21 mm OD tube should be usable, if cut shorter, as a coupler for the 21 mm ID FSI tubing). I'm more pleased to see that Quest is finally showing signs, however preliminary and tentative, of growth.

They've had those parts for some time. on a positive note I recently ordered some parts from them and the body tubes the sent were like the old MPC ones. Very nice! They also have a new blow molded 30mm nose cone with attachment loop.

Those too are positive signs--thank you for mentioning them! My order today included some 20 mm and 35 mm tubes, and I hope they are of the "MPC fiber body tube" material.

Let us know what you think of them when they arrive. I ordered 20 mm 15 mm and 30 mm and was very impressed with the quality
