T' Quest Striker AGM is a simulated military missile. Aye aye! My particular rocket was modified with a 3.5" payload that stretches it t' over 30 inches long, and painted t' an entirely different red-white-blue scheme featurin' some gold trim lines. Aye aye! Another modification was started by t' shippin' company. T' body tube was damaged in t' center, so I wrapped it with a heavy paper shroud and then strengthened t' body with eight basswood strakes that looks more like it be meant t' be a design feature instead o' a patch-job. Avast, me proud beauty! T' hide it in plain sight t' strakes were painted gold. Begad! It looks like it be painted more for an air show and nay like an AGM missile. Avast! I think with this model I have finally learned that models o' this size and weight (30” and about 5 oz.) should have a 24mm mount. Ahoy! T' 18mm motors that are affordable are just nay powerful enough for satisfyin' altitudes. Aye aye! I can get about 300 feet on a C6-3 motor though, so it's high enough. Ahoy! This should be strong enough t' fly with a composite D10 motor. This rocket has flown higher than t' Washington National Cathedral and t' US Capitol in Washington, me bucko, DC.
