Default 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.

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.

Okay, George.

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?

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.
