They may still have some of the Quest Aerobee-Hi in stock, so go and get 'em!!

That's not the reproduction kit that's packaged like Model Missiles. That's their regular packaged kit but I do believe it's OOP...

I plan to fly it next Sunday (21st), weather permitting.

Bob,

I know it's "winter" in San Diego but rest assured, both Estes and Quest motors will still work if the temp drops below 67 degrees.

And if by chance one of those white fluffy things should chance to interupt the perpetual blue of the California sky, the bright orange of the Aerobee should still be visible.

But the most important "weather" advice us midwesterners have for you California guys is that it is best to not launch when the ground is moving.

Beautiful Aerobee-Hi, by the way.

Very nice job on your Aerobee-Hi!

I was away last week and returned to find a package from Quest containing both of the Aerobee-Hi kits I ordered from them. Very cool from box to contents!

Also enclosed was a "freebie" Quest Hand Toss Glider, a Quest Factory Direct Educators Catalog and an envelope containing a customer appreciation coupon that can be used Jan 2-11 for 15% off the already discounted items sold on their website.

I have to say I'm impressed with Quest and will do more business with them in the future.

Well, the weather was 'permitting' today, Sunday, December 21st, here in sunny Southern California and I flew my newly built Quest MMI Aerobee-Hi model.

Launched with one of the 'new' Quest A6-4 motors, the model had a successful flight and was recovered undamaged.
