Inspired
by my experience building a 1.2x scale Midget from Quest T30, I set
about building another using Quest's T35 tubes. The result turned out
very nice.
This one flies on 24mm motors. It's well suited for the C11
motors, or a combination of a C11 and a D12, but two D12's will likely
result in a lost rocket.
Alas, the C11-0 and C11-7 are no longer
available, so I fly it using my limited stash of C11's and occasionally
an 18mm A or B motor adapted up.

Since the motor hangs out the back of the booster, I added a hook to
ensure the motor doesn't slide out the aft end at staging. It can
be seen in the pic below. 1/4" masking tape prevents the booster
from sliding off the motor as well as holding the hook fast against the
motor.

Here's a shot of yours truly getting ready to give the Midget T35 a ride.
