Can't Fit All The Words
NARAM-50 saw many new products displayed/announced by hobby rocketry manufacturers.
Quest displayed and discussed their line of Advanced Rocketry models. Six prototypes, designed by Rokitflite, were displayed.
One of these models was the two-stage High-Q.
When Quest released the High-Q earlier this year, it was as a single-stage model.
While a basic appearing rocket, the paint scheme created by Rokitflite really 'makes' this rocket.
I've flown my High-Q locally on D12-5 motors and at NARAM-52 Quest President Bill Stine provided me with some Quest D8-3 motors to demonstrate in the High-Q. (Thanks, Bill).

Many rockets, no time.
Here's mine. Still needs a maiden launch, but she's ready!
EDIT: RIP. Lost on maiden launch on a E9-6. Another has been built very similar to this one.
EDIT#2: FOUND March 29, 2012! It's intact, and survived a winter up in a tree (thanks to Rustoloeum Epoxy Appliance Paint). A little clean-up and she's flight ready again!

I really like my High-Q a lot and would love to grab a 2-stage version. My only complaint is the shock cord. If building, ditch the elastic and use 6' of nylon cord instead. Also, as seen in the pics, I am using a PVC Compression Fitting as a motor retainer on mine.

Very nice.
wonder why no 2 stage was sold?

The compression fitting will definitely be installed on mine before it's launch.Originally Posted by Disaster_Guy
As for the shock cord, I didn't use the Kevlar cord, went to 2 - 18" stainless fishing leaders then 6' of 1/4" clothing elastic. Should be plenty.
Love the look of the rocket BTW!

I'm not sure. It looks like the prototype was a 2 stage, but perhaps it was deemed not needed?Very nice.

Besides, If I went BP engines, I'm certain I could fab up a nice D-mount booster with similar fins.

Biggest issue with the shock cord for me (I used the kevlar leader, stock elastic cord, and then added 2' of nylon) was that the recoil of the elastic sprung the nose cone back into the body (actually the fin) and now I have fin repair to do. Just this afternoon I cut back the stock elastic as far as I could and replaced it with 8' of PMI 3mm utility cord. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Can't Fit All The Words
The original, two-stage, design of the High-Q model was based on Quest releasing a line of large black powder motors (D, E, F) that would have allowed direct staging.
The status of these large BP motors appears to be in limbo so Quest decided to just release the upper stage of the High-Q as it's own kit.

I'm not new!!
Here's a link to some pics of mine.....http://www.rocketryforum.com/showthr...highlight=high
Flew it at LDRS 29... I put a G77R in it.... yeah, that's a little too much power for this kit if built stock(can you say "shread"). Still, a nice lookin kit and I plan to fix mine.

GDJ, when I saw your first pic, I thought, "Did he take a pic while launching it in his living room?!"
They're nice rockets though.
Many rockets, no time.
THAT is funny!
That's a styrofoam cone that I was using as a stand. It forms quite nice in the motor mount and it's reasonably stable.

My first build of the High-Q. Built stock with the exception of PVC motor retainer and paracord for recovery harness.
