Can’t find these anywhere online. When will they be available to non-NSL participants, please?

Totally glad to see these, especially because they are high thrust, but I'm curious: Why not go for a full E motor?


Do Q Jets use a fuel with less Isp than other composites?

I would bet Chris Short will have a few when he comes back from NSL.

I think his regular Es are no longer a full 40 NS. The nozzle on the Qjet is totally internal to the case, unlike the regular Es, so they have even less room for propellant.

The E18W gets close. A nice motor with a 2.2 second burn.

These new 24mm Quest Q-Jet motors are awesome!

I flew two of them on Sunday during the NSL.

My Quest Big Dog model flew on a D22-7W. The flight was fast!

The second flight was with the new, updated Quest Icarus kit. That model screamed off the launch pad!

Try it, you'll like them.

Nice! Interesting Falcon in the flyer for the new Q-jets, the Falcon was a favorite, I built two with my daughters. I wonder if it is going to use the Nike Smoke fin can like the original Quest Falcon

I flew my first E26 today - it was just in a spool, but it was really nice! Fast ignition, bright white flame, and that nice white-lightning sound. I look forward to flying these. I think the D22-7 will be a hoot in a Cherokee-D or Goblin. The E26 is a nice alternative to the E20, when a little lower altitude is called for. They're also substantially lower cost (17.49 vs 28.99 retail).

That's $0.31/N for the E26, $0.41/N for the E20.

An Estes E12 retails for $0.29/N.

A CTI E22 retails for $0.80/N !!

I think I'm going to like these 24mm Q-Jets.

Our Local HobbyTown USA in West Allis WI has them on the shelf (just the D22-7 and E26-7). Still, nice to be able to get them locally.

(One nice feature of these is the ability to easily remove the ejection charge for safe use in saucers/spools. Probably technically "modifying" the motor, and not sanctioned by AT, but it's not really any different than a DMS motor (or the defunct LMS motors). Kids, don't try this at home.)
