I had to add ballast to the nose of my original Quest, even with a pull-pull rudder, running the ST 90. I had the battery pack right behind the engine.
What do you think of the GRP joiner for the elevator halves? Is it stiff enough? On my original, I went to two small JR digitals instead, because the wire joiner was too flexible.

The Hyde distances and dimensions etc. fitted with no modifications. I went for the rudder servo in the back again. It just seems to save weight and allows the battery to be what is moved to suit my CG. needs.
Jon,
Update and Change - I have almost finished the Quest-2 and it does
NOT need the rudder servo to be at the back. I had it there to begin with, but now I have taken it out and covered over the hole with some scrap Ultracote. The rudder servo is now in the pull-pull position as per the instructions. The battery is up against the firewall and I now use a the regular spinner backplate instead of the lightened one.
I am also fitting a new Quest cowl to my 1.40L version, so while I have them both in the workshop, I will weigh the Mk-1 and Mk-2 fuselages and wings to see how they compare.
Regards,
Eric.
