- This video shows step-by-step instructions for building the Quest "Penetrator". The kit goes together in about an hour. When launched, the rocket recovers in two pieces, each with its own parachute.
A viewer pointed out the the fins should go the other direction than how I built it. He was correct, but the rocket will fly with the fins in either direction.
Dave, maybe it was just my perception, but it appeared as if the fins were installed facing the wrong direction. It looks like they should have more of a forward looking sweep to them.
I can’t believe that Quest quality control didn’t catch the error in the instructions that you are to glue the NC in and then later attach a chute to it…….. I have a Penetrator somewhere in my stash. You motivated me to go dig it out and build it. As usual, I always enjoy watching your builds!
I looked back on the cover image and instructions, and you are correct: the fins should be swept forward. Fortunately, it will fly either way.
This liquid glue is also on Amazon
That TAMIA liquid glue, Is great, hold your two pieces together,take and touch the tip of the brush on the joint where the two pieces come together.It will wick in the joint & follow it. Hold for OHHH 20-30 second & set it to aside. To get 100% cure STRENGTH of glue"for 24 hrs.
I like these videos but they would be significantly improved by showing a launch at the end.
@@nheather I agree, but there is often a substantial delay between building and launching.
"white glue or wood glue" what happened to your "white wood glue"?
