New Quest Motor & Other Stuff
I neglected to get a photo of it as I planned to, but Matt Costabile brought one of Quest's 18mm "D" motor casings to NARCON for me to look at. It's very cool looking. The casing is much lighter than an empty 18mm paper casing. It is made out of some funky polymer that has more of a metal characteristic. It even sounds like metal when you tap on it. I was told it is stronger than Aerotech's single use casings for the same size, and WAY cheaper to mass produce.
In other Quest news, I asked Matt if they are going to come out with new kits for these new motors. I was told they are and are working with designs from Matt Steele and Scott Branche.
