Check out the news from the iHobby show in Chicago, be it Quest-centric that it is...

Is that a new launch pad I see in my grainy saved-then-blown-up-to-400% photo?

 

[rokitflite]

Yes... But not for the rockets you are thinking of...

Well, here is some non-Quest news from the show. I found this link/pic on the space-modelers group.

Someone is going to re-release the MPC Pilgrim Observer Plastic model from 1970. Which IIRC, G. Harry Stine designed.

Update, it seems a company named "Round 2", which specialize in re-releasing old Plastic Kits, is the one involved, not MPC itself. Here is their webpage, but apparently no update yet for the Pilgrim.

Hey, three of those look really familiar, from way back at NARAM-50!

You know somebody has to ask.........so it might as well be me.........any news on the new BP motors these new kits were designed for? Still hung up somewhere between China and US red tape?

Yes... Still some China issues. And some may notice that the High-Q is missing something.

Are we just going to be teased again? Release dates of November, January and February. Really? Or are they going to be like Auntie "E" and just dangle them out there, but never really come out with them? I hope Quest proves me wrong, and am eagerly awaiting Shrox's influence, but so many past promises and no results leaves one doubting...:confused2:

A second stage?

 

[rokitflite]

A second stage?

Yup

 

[Ltvscout]

Yup

I guess they should change the name to Mid-Q then.

You mean you hope we drink more Guinness?

Brilly-ee-ant!!

That would be Shrox *under* the influence, wouldn't it?
