Gee, I Wonder Where These Were Made?


For a while Quest BP engines were made in other countries and imported.

I've gone through quite a few, but never saw one like the engine on the left. The ejection charge cap is usually white like on the right side.

    Looks like Chinese characters on the cap.

      Hi BAR,
      Yep! These Chinese made engines also have the beige nozzle clay. Before that, Quest engines had silver nozzles and were made in Germany.

      IIRC I think I had some labelled made in Mexico as well.
      Any other countries that you know of?

      Hi BAR,
      I knew some early Quest engines were made on an Indian Reservation to get around some regulations. There was an accident, that might have been when production was moved to Mexico for a while.
      I'm not sure, but I may have seen some Estes wadding labeled "Made In Mexico".
