Pyramid shaped model rocket from the 90's from Quest or Estes?

[broncofandj]

Hello, this is my first post. I came here to ask if anyone can tell me the name of a rocket I built as a young teen in the 1990's. It was a pyramid shaped model rocket with no wings and was based off of an actual text airship by the U.S. government. I want to say the model kit was made by quest, but it could have been Estes. It was black with light grey lines depicting panels and poets in the thin cardboard outershell. Please if you can help me with the name of the model?

Two come shaped rockets, the DC-x clipper and the hl-20. Do either of those ring a bell?

YES! It was the DC-x Clipper! Thanks Rex!! I spent weeks trying to remember and search for that. I was young and built many model rockets, but that one was the most unique and different! Again Thanks for the fast reply and spot-on help!

I worked (briefly)on that project. We kept saying it was shaped like a salt shaker. What Space-X is doing now came from the R&D that went into the DCX.

There is also a papercraft DC-Y that was a Quest freebie and it's pretty easy to convert to 13 mm power.

Love the DC-X.
