My dad should have in his possession this weekend the "Quest" from Creek
Hobbies. It was on display at both the Wram and Toledo show. Show special
price was $200. I went back and forth with him looking at the Quest and the
Swallow, for my money the Quest is a better buy. It is a touch larger than
the Swallow, fit and finish seem to be equal and the Quest is less
expensive. As my dad is not a competitor, his will be powered by an OS91
Surpass. I'm sorry I didn't get one for myself but I sorta ran out of money
at Toledo.......another story.. Ed M.
