Has anyone flown both models , as I have narrowed my choices down to these two but cannot choose , disregarding price which flys pattern the best??

Thanks For Any Info

well my quest is in the mail right now (i only got the quest cuz i'm alittle short on cash) so i think the Synergy would fly better for pattern.

That it? nobody else has an opinion?cmon what is the opinions?

Ok you wanted opinions...

can't say I've ever flown the quest, but the synergy is one of the nicest flying planes I've ever owned. On high rates it has awesome 3d performance but if you put the rates down a bit it is a super-smooth F3A flyer, the best 90 size artf pattern model I've flown. Which is what you'd expect from a plane with this pedigree! It really does fly like the 2m models although inevitably suffers in non-ideal conditions from being smaller. But then, so do all of them...

One thing to bear i mind is the surfaces are really colossal, so you will need to make sure you have some very strong servos or I can see you could suffer from flutter. Any of the "standard" size digitals would do just fine though.

I would thoroughly recommend the Synergy. On top of all of this, the construction quality is literally the best I've ever seen in an ARFT. Again, what you'd expect from ZN.

if you do get a quest......i got mine in the mail today it looks like you would want a 4s 110 or 120......its alittle big for the 91.

Well thanks , I do have a YS120 so my next question is , will this engine be too much for te Synergy? I know the quest has been flown with a 120 but am unsure about the Synergy , any1 know?

I don't think the 120 would be the best engine for the synergy. The power with the 110 is quite awesome, and it would still be exceptional with the 91 I think.

I think the extra weight of the 120 would be very detrimental to the plane, and you'd also have to put weight in the tail as it would be too nose heavy otherwise. It doesn't need the extra power either so I would be hesitant to use the 120.

It is simply too heavy for the front end on the yYnergy. Will it work? Yes. However, it will not be good for you will need to place lots of weight on the tail and the airplane will lose it's great slow flying capabilities. The 110 is making the same power as the 120NC and about 95% the power of the 120FZ. It yanks the Syn90 around like a yo-yo and is an awesome motor once broken in and final tuned.

For the 120, the Goldberg Ultimate is a great airplane...just an idea. Of course, the 110 is even better because the power to weight ration goes up when saving 10% weight. The 120 is almost a redundency...almost, but not quite. It still has it's place for pattern airplanes in the 72" catagory.

Thanks Mark , appreciate your input , would love the synergy but am not in a position to buy a new engine right now , pity about the 120 , would Quest have same probs with 120fz?

Sell the 120 and buy a 110? Does it have to be an ARTF?


Are you going to Portlaoise in a few weeks?

Rob , no Portlaoise , will be on hols , it strictly doesnt have 2 be an ARTF but I have built kits before with no probs but I suck at coverring , hate it , so an ARTF suits me beter
