I was at the local HobbyTown USA, and saw the new Quest LPR kits hanging on pegs. While they're nothing exciting, I wanted to see what's been changed, and have something to fly the new D22/E26 motors in, so grabbed a Falcon kit. The instructions have been updated to reflect the 24mm motor mount, the 18/24mm adapter, and the new graphics. What wasn't updated is the illustration for building the MMT, as it clearly shows an 18mm tube, and the older style Quest engine hooks. No matter, the build process is the same.
Laying out the parts, the only differences I see from the 18mm Falcon (it was lost last year, so I'm doing this from memory), is the 24mm MMT, new decals, and adapter. The engine hook is stiffer than I recall from previous generation Quest kits, but I haven't built one in a long time, so that may have been improved previously. The fin can is, unfortunately, yellow, so the rocket requires painting to look like the cover art.
