High-Power Motor Purchase Requirements
The sale of 'G' motors and larger and all model and high power RMS reload kits to persons under 18 years of age is currently prohibited by federal law. Individuals must be 18 years of age to purchase high power hardware. Proof of age (such as a copy of a driver's license) must accompany all orders for 'G' and larger motors and all RMS reload kits. The consumer must be a current member in either the National Association of Rocketry or Tripoli Rocketry Association and be certified Level 1 (H,I), or Level 2 (J,K,L), or Level 3 (M,N,O) high power user, 18 years of age or older to purchase all high power reload kits.
Please note that orders requiring additional documentation cannot be shipped without a copy of a NAR or Tripoli Rocketry Association Level Certification card, or evidence (business license or purchase order on company or school letterhead) that you are a legitimate business or academic customer.

Description
AeroTech is pleased to announce the Tripoli certification and immediate availability of the new Q-JetTM 18mm C18W and D20W White LightningTM single- use model rocket motors. AeroTech/Quest introduces “C” and “D” size, 18mm x 70mm, Q-Jet White Lightning composite propellant model rocket motors. This represents “A First For Model Rocketry”. For the first time consumers will finally have a choice of propellant formulations in traditional size model rocket motors. In addition to Black MaxTM, Q-Jet’s initial propellant formulation, consumers will now be able to choose between two aerospace grade solid composite propellants that are from the same family of solid propellant as NASA’s Space Shuttle boosters, sounding rockets and military missiles. Available in “A” to “D” motor types, Q-Jet’s 18mm x 70mm physical size allow them to fit into all traditional model rocket kits. Both White Lightning (W) and Black Max (FJ) propellant formulations produce more than twice the specific impulse (Isp) as conventional black powder rocket motors. New White Lightning Q-Jets produce a brilliant white exhaust plume, bright white smoke and a throaty roar at lift-off. The new Q-Jet C18W delivers 9.8 N-sec of total impulse with a peak thrust of 23.6N, while the new D20W Q-Jet produces 13.8 N- sec of total impulse and a peak thrust of 24.3N. Both the C18W and D20W White Lightning Q-Jets are available in 4, 6 and 8 second time delays and are clamshell packaged as complete launch packs with motors, initiators & recovery wadding. New White Lightning Q-Jets are price competitive with black powder model rocket motors and are also available in 12 and 25 piece educational Value Packs.
