I see that Rokitflite (the designer) has already piped in with the correct measurements.

Before the product meeting on Sunday evening, Bill Stine was walking around the NARAM field looking like the cat who ate the canary. You could tell he was up to something. He was walking the tent/parking area handing out samples of the new igniters and I took the opportunity to ask him about the new D5 motors and ETA of the D5's with delays. He replied, "Come to the product meeting this evening. You DON'T want to miss this! That question will be answered and much more." And said it with a shi* eatin' grin on his face.

ooooooh! and they even come in pretty colors!


what I think wil be cool about thee new Bp motors is that with their moderate average thrusts, we should see thrust durations of 2-3 seconds.

Thanks for posting that information Scott!

Very cool!

I just hope these do not turn out to be "vaporware" like the 18mm Quest D has that was in development for like 6 years.

I have to admit I was a little skeptical too, and expressed my skepticism to Rokitflite(Scott) the next day. After all, he came up a very nice kit design called the Raptor, which was announced by Quest a long while back at ihobby(two years ago???) and has yet to be released. The 18mm D's are another example, although I'm not disappointed because the end cost of those just weren't worth the investment. Scott did bring up a very good point, stating that Quest has invested a good deal of money for this new, mid power sized nose cone mold. So they must be pretty confident they can get the certs on these motors. They could still release mid power kits without the motors to go with them, I suppose, but making an announcement like this at NARAM and not coming through would not look good. I will remain optimistic and continue to support Quest no matter what the outcome.

I couldn't agree more about supporting Quest no matter the outcome. They are still out there swinging and that count for quite alot to me.
