As I said in the title, this bird is from the period when Quest was drawing inspiration from OOP Estes rockets, in this case the Star Blazer. (The Quest Intruder drew obvious inspiration from the Est....

I can't say this one really connected with me as it hung on the pegs, but I bought one and built it just to have something new to fly at a weekend club launch on the big boy field. Despite not s....
