Nope. Logged on. I can see his other posts. He either deleted it or has the wrong permissions on it.

Maybe the page is cached. I get on FB about two or three times a year. I got this: "Sorry, this content isn't available right now. The link you followed may have expired, or the page may only be visible to an audience you're not in."

I have to assume he has the wrong permissions on that post, then.
I can see "At Coronado Beach with Lyra", "Bryce Canyon....", his Cover Photo of the 1340/20 rocket, photo of some F67s, picture of outside of Houston Saturn V building, "it doesn't get better than this". The Aerotech page has the NARCON press release, and a description of the TMT data for the B4 motors.

I just found Quest's new Q-Jet motors on their site, which I hadn't checked for a while (it's running some sort of countdown clock: www.questaerospace.com [maybe for the availability of other, more powerful impulse class Q-Jet motors?]), and then I found this thread. While I can understand the puzzlement over "A" and "B" 18 mm composite motors, the exhaust plume options they will make possible (such as black smoke, yellow flame [from White Lightning-type propellant], etc.) will be nice for realistic effects when flown in scale models, as well as easy tracking. The black smoke (with Black Jack-type propellant) would also produce interesting "wide trail" effects in ducted rocket models (of which there are also scale subjects), and:
Regarding the "cool appearance" (as they look on display in stores) factor that was mentioned above, I heartily agree! The Q-Jet motors' labels have an "old school" look; the colors and the geometric devices (in the heraldic meaning of "device") reminds me of the 1960s and 1970s Centuri and Energet motors and catalogs (the 1960s Centuri catalogs used a similar burnt orange-and-white color combination on the pages).

The “countdown clock” was for when you could pre-order them....two weeks ago now. Notice it’s counting up...
As I recall from the other info on these motors (at NARCON), the propellant is the the black smoke formula (not called black jack anymore but at the moment I can’t remember what it IS called).

Looks like GH finally got his wish for a B14 with the Q-Jet C14.
