Either way, it's a black smoky exhaust that's not very noisy.
I see--yes, he used the same propellant nomenclature as for the Aerotech-labeled motors, although I think that in the Aerotech-labeled motors with that propellant, it's called "Black Jack" (the other Q-Jet pack in that picture identifies its motors' propellant as "White Lightning," which I've also seen printed on some Aerotech-labeled motors). Do any of the Quest Q-Jet motors use their third propellant type (Blue Thunder)? (As well as being scale-realistic for some models, such as the Skylark, their Black Max propellant, burning more quietly, would be useful for flying in places where neighbors aren't far away.)
