Lee-

That is a fairly impressive flame display for a B motor and daytime conditions. I mention that latter condition because at near-dark, a measly ol' A8 motor will put out a 'visible' flame that is really hard to believe for such a small amount of propellant. Larger motors, even more so under those conditions.

I've only flown one 'true' B14, but that was back in the mid-90s and it was so quick (no photographs either), I don't even recall any memory of the 'flame' at all. It was a '68 vintage Estes B14. Worked fine.

What model is that? By chance a Centuri (or Semroc) Arcon-Hi?
