Although new to our catalog, the X-30 kit has been out of production for several years. We were fortunate to have acquired a number of these vintage kits which are now for sale at JonRocket.com.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Michielssen built the X-30 shown in the photograph. He describes building and finishing the kit in a series of articles in his <a href=\"http:\/\/modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com\/2013\/04\/quest-x-30-aerospace-plane-part-1-parts.html\">Model Rocket Building Blog<\/a>. Chris illustrates his<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocketreviews.com\/x-30-aerospace-plane-2270.html\"> blog posts<\/a> with step-by-step photographs of the construction of the kit.<\/p>\n<p>Assembled, the X-30 is a little over 17&#8243; long. It flies on a C6-3 motor and is recovered using two 12&#8243; parachutes. An Estes C6-3 is probably better-suited for this draggy model than a Quest C6-3. And, you may wish to replace the two small parachutes with a single 18&#8243; parachute. A single parachute is easier to fit in the rocket and less likely to tangle on deployment.<\/p>\n<p>While it is challenging to build, and can be a finicky flier, the Quest X-30 kit will make a unique addition to your rocketry fleet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the newest additions to our online catalog is the Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane flying model rocket kit.
