Quest ThunderJets at NARAM-50
Quest announced the following at NARAM-50. Thanks to our Roy Green who posted this info at TRF.
Quest: D5-0p is out now, 4 and 7 out maybe by October. BIG NEWS: Announcement of Spring 2009 delivery of the Quest Thunderjet motors. D8-0,3,5 E12-4,7 F12-4,7 also trying to get a E16-0, and F16-0. D8 is 24x70, E12 and F12 are 28x100,115. These are black powder, made by chinese military factory, not fireworks maker. so quality and potency is apparently quite good. you wanted new DEF BP motors and looks like Quest is gonna deliver. GO QUEST!

Let's hope these new motors can be sold at real prices (not MSRP) that are competitive with Estes D and E motors. Otherwise, we might as well pay the premium for AP composites.

Bill Stine said these would be priced near comparable AT prices: $11-12 for the F; $7-8 for the E's and $3-4 for the D's. These are more than reasonable prices for near full DE and a mid F(say 60nt-sec?)....especially in BP and todays market, when you take into consideration that they come all the way from China. Plus the D's are much more near a full D (the Estes D is only 17nt-sec) and the E wil be near full E(thats near 37-38Nt-sec) . Both the E's and F's will obviously require hazmat (because the E will be > 30g and the F will be right at 62.5g) . So you have a choice : lower total impulse Estes DE or higher Total Impulse Quest DE Besides, there's nothing like the smell of big BP motors in the morning!. terry dean

Terry, Those are reasonable prices. I'll buy plenty. I'm going to need those E16-0 and F16-0 booster motors! Did anyone notice the Quest pictures from the NARAM Live link I posted earlier {Evening events Sunday page 2}. I see a two stage prototype in the mix ..... around the middle of the page directly following the pictures of Bill Stine. http://www.nerys.com/naramlive/nara...day/night2.html Resembles a two stage Nike-Ram. Looks like it has "High-D" as the proposed name on the side of the rocket. .
