Q-Jets at NARAM-60
Gary Rosenfield brought some of the new Quest Q-Jet C12 and D16 motors to NARAM-60 to demo fly.
I brought with me a Quest Astra III and Qwik-Q model to fly with the motors (These models are on the Q-Jet motor packaging so I thought it best to so that these models can fly on the Q-Jet motors).
A D16-8 was installed in the Qwik-Q while the Astra III received a C12-8.
The Qwick-Q was the first to launch. Instant ignition and climb out.
Ho...LE...Cow! Did that model get some altitude!
I should have used a six second delay as the parachute ejected well past apogee but the chute opened without a problem. Ejection charge (.25 g) seemed just right.
