Default NEW QUEST

I had a chance to look at the new ULTRA-RC QUEST today. I had gone to pick up a new cowl for my old Quest, (mine had been modified for several different engines and was getting worse than Swiss cheese!).

The first news is that if you have a Quest already and you need spares, they have a contingent of cowls, canopies, U/C, and major parts etc. they even have the colors of the covering available.

I have built two Quests and was eager to see what was different. This is what I found:-

1. The fuselage has a new front end. Much more more conventional with a firewall and a bay/hatch for a fuel tank behind the engine id so desired

2. No more beam mounts. Regular mounts included

3. The parts are laser cut this time.

4. The Wing is shorter to improve the snaps. 68.5" vs 72".

5. The whole plane is lighter.

I did not see it but I think the stab has moved a tad for better down lines.

Lots of "red" ones available this time.
