Flight Log - 2011-07-26 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Quest AS-1 Escort
While it's a great design, building the kit was a pain. The model is actually 13 3/4" tall, not 17.3" as advertised on the face card and website.
Errors in the instructions, not enough decals and a badly pre-cut parachute. It's be a tough build for a younger flyer.

| Motors: | Chinese made Quest A6-4 |
| Expected Altitude: | 200 Feet |

Not very stable. The rocket flew off at an angle with some wiggle in the back end.
The recommended Quest A6-4 delay was too long. The rocket was coming in nose down for a second before the parachute blew. An A8-3 would be a better choice.
