Its apples and oranges, my Quest has a YS 110 with a 14X10 prop and the Show-Time has a Saito 100 with a 15X6. The show time is a lot slower and is a compromise pattern, 3D ship. If you are looking for more pattern characteristics I would stick with the quest. But, if you are a sport flyer I think the Show-Time is the way to go. The hardware is first rate and no need for all the modifications we made to the quest. Also if you do need parts they are readily available. You can even buy one wing half. It is a very strong plane and can take some abuse. It flys great right out of the box. I used everything they supplied except I added aluminum servo arms.
