Default Quest Kit Release History

I am interested in finding out if there is a list of all the Quest kits and their years of availability? I am also curious why they have so few of the designs from the past and have become basically entry level rockets offering. I am guessing they are only focused on motor sales and not model rocket kits.

the amount of kits they have released has been almost nil since the Aerotech buyout, but they have released lots of great new 18mm composite engines in the B thru D range.

I do not have enough catalogs to add any accurate years of availability data.

Some of the past Quest kits were multi-stage models and Quest no longer has motors that can be used for staging.

Thank you for pointing me to the list. Sadly does not have dates of release or end of life. I was able to get a good list of them from RocketReviews.com by searching by manufacturer.
