Hey Mole -
You've got to let all the vendors get their kits before you announce the kit! JonRocket.com got theirs at last Saturday's launch. Kits are in the mail to Sirius and ERockets right now. Apogee will also get some kits shortly.

No, while I have launched quite a few Q-Jets, the F-18 Hornet tests were done with Estes A8-3, B6-4 and C6-5 motors. I can bet the equivalent Q-Jets would be just fine.

From the fighters that I have seen flying in afterburner, I believe Blue Thunder would be more appropriate. I saw a CF-18 doing practice runs in 1988 over the Offutt AFB runway in afterburner, and the flames behind the plane were blue with very little smoke. The fact that it was twilight at the time made the sight more impressive. Remember, if are flying a fighter in combat you do not want any smoke behind you to give away your position.

White Lightning Q-jets have exhaust that looks like a Sparrow missile exhaust, NOT like any modern afterburner. A F-4's J79 engines produce smoke during AB operation and without, but it is faint black, not white like WL propellant.
If ANY jet exhaust looks like WL propellant, it is a MAJOR problem !

I saw a pair of F4s takeoff at St. Louis one night back in the late 80s. They had a 20 to 30 ft. Blue flame that after rotation deflected off the runway into a v . It was the most awesome takeoff I have ever seen.
