I have to tell you that I'm really excited about getting back into rocketry after about 30 years. See my intro here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/gettings-back-into-it.174280/
Due to lack of a work bench and really just about no building supplies left, I have decided to start with a couple of ready-to-fly Quest Bright Hawk and Falcon rockets. I wanted a minimum of work to get started and my next local launch (SPAAR) is 9/3 so I wanted to be ready for this.
I'm looking for anyone that has experience with these two rockets using the fin cans for ideas on what to look out for while building/flying. I'm more used to the high-power rockets from back in the 90's and seeing this is less than three ounces has me wondering about durability. I'm going to use a Quest Q-Jet White Lightening C18-6W for the first flight even though the first flight recommended motor is a B6-4W. I guess I wanted more than a couple of hundred feet for my first flight.
So, your ideas are greatly appreciated to get this old timer back into the hobby I loved since I was a young teen.
Thanks!
