I for one know how difficult it is to bring a BP motor to market at all and am not the least bit surprised all his strong work resulted in nill and a bunch of wasted capital that would have been better off in his 401-k.

One advantage to APCP motors by comparison is the propellant is not an explosive and while some vendors ship it with explosives labeling, it burns below the rate of the threshold for even a flammable solid.

Even though I looked forward to Quest motors as well, and saw some photos of prototypes and non-rebranded bulk quantities, the compliance layer is ridiculous and designed to kill business not merely make it safe.
