Indeed. As Scott pointed out, these things make lots of noise and smoke. Surprisingly, they produced a little more thrust than any of us expected. Obviously, they aren't intended for heavy, draggy rockets, but I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised by these motors. Good stuff Quest!

Since these were beta motors, the casings were just a bit too long to fit into a standard mount. There was plenty of empty space at the end of the casing and we just trimmed them to fit with a razor saw. It was worth the effort. This will not be an issue when these motors are ready for general consumption.

Scott, thanks for bringing these motors yesterday. Had a great time.
