Not an easy build with the fit of the tail cone and the flimsey air scoop. Decals were another issue, lots of pieceing together of the long stripes. A good looking model finished.

Today was the first flight with a B6-4.
I'd let the "crispy" Quest parachute air out before launch. It was cold this morning and I did want it to open.
The Quest instructions say it'll reach 280' with the B6-4 so I'll go with that!
Launch was vertical with a tight corkscrew during boost.
Good flight, but this draggy rocket is best suited for a C6-5.
