noahb,

As indicated in our multiple email transmissions, YES, the Quest will balance fine with the Saito 100. As we discussed, placement of the hardware / electronics is key. There really is no secret to success. Personally, upon assembly of the main airframe parts, I would mount the engine first. Once complete with the muffler, cowl, prop, and spinner...... I would "mock-up" the remaining equipment for accurate placement. Tape the servos in the recommended locations. Use the battery as your ballast. Move it around until you achieve the recommended CG.

As far as MLC's situation, I have not spoken with him yet. Therefore I can not comment. All I can say with certainty is that MLC's situation is not the norm. The ST90 is a light motor, BUT, we have many of them flying with OS 91FX's too. Again, I am not saying there is a fault here.....is it possible there is an issue, sure. If there is, it is a first. I would like to speak with him about it to fully understand what is going on.
