Name that bird!

Does anyone know what this is named? 18mm motor. It's not an estes, it has a narrow engine hook and kevlar/round-elastic shock cord, probably quest or custom?

Looks custom. Hopefully K'tesh or someone can tell you for sure.

It looks like the Quest Super Cruiser:

I just found this thread... WOW! Beautiful! I didn't recognize it. Nice Job Chris for knowing what my new obsession is going to be called!

Too bad OR doesn't have fins attached to fins (yet), nor the ability to "lean" them. I'd like to sim this up, but as is, it's beyond an accurate representation.

Found plans, fins, and decals over on oldrocketplans.com

Now, it would be impressive if someone could upscale it, and turn it into an RC boost glider.

From the scan, it looks like the original decals were self-adhesive. I've created a new, clean version of them with inkscape so I can print my own water-slide decals.
