Hello All,
In the thread about Quest's new Q-Jet motors, I mentioned two now-discontinued Quest kits (for which they sell all of the parts, except for their decals) as being good matches for the Q-Jets, and this comment attracted positive feedback and also inspired the following:
If we "lobbied" Quest regarding this (their e-mail address is:
service@questaerospace.com ), they might re-issue the kits (both of which were also offered in starter sets, as well as being sold as individual kits). I e-mailed them the following message, which includes links to catalog citations and a dramatic flight video); the body text of the message was as follows:

In a discussion on Ye Olde Rocket Forum (YORF) about Quest’s new Q-Jet motors, mention was also made of two discontinued Quest rocket kits (which—other than their decals—you sell all of the parts for), which would be perfect matches for your Q-Jet motors, including the upcoming “C” and “D” Q-Jet motors. These are the Quest Eagle (which was also labeled as the Falcon, see:
http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca.../93quest10.html and
http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/nostalgia/94qst10.html ) and the Super Eagle (see:
http://archive.rocketreviews.com/re...per_eagle.shtml and

The Super Eagle, in fact, is shown on the opening page of the Quest website (and here
www.youtube.com/watch?v=St3HJgA1L7E is a YouTube video of a Quest Super Eagle that was flown on a Klima D7-3 motor). One of the posters on YORF went so far as to say, “The Eagle was my first Quest kit, IIRC. It's a great demo rocket whether flown on an A or the new 18mm D.
I never thought it would be discontinued. It was pretty much their flagship model early on.” (The Eagle/Falcon and the Super Eagle were also offered in starter sets [see:
http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...3/93quest4.html ,
http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/nostalgia/94qst06.html , and
http://www.discountrocketry.com/que...ter-p-2042.html ], and you could offer them in this way again, as well as sell them as individual bagged or boxed kits [they were offered in both of these types of packaging].)
I hope this information will be helpful.
