Well I have about 3 weekends of flying the Quest 90 and everything Eric has said about it is true. Mean little
pattern plane, will do a respectable P05, hammers the loop with full roll, yet will do knife edge square loops, 
torque roll with a bit of practice and lands like a trainer, unless you run it out of fuel in the wind, yea it is that much fun.
I put a pumped Webra 120 on it with a Karl Mueller header and a Greave pipe, for all around fun flying a 16x8
apc gives a good speed with braking on down lines. I have no interest in the selling of this arf but wanted to 
pass on that for $250. it is the most fun I have had for that amount of money in a long time. 

I extended the pipe tunnel for the larger 2 stroke pipes but if you stay with a YS 110 or a 90 size pipe you can build it right to the plans, it comes with a CD with the instructions. Eric has one with a YS 140 and one with YS 110, the Webra, probably in the middle of those two, pulls it out of a torque roll straight up at 9 pounds, 5 ounces. The 110 version comes in around 9 even.

No mixing needed will knife edge the length of the field at half throttle with just rudder and does a sweet inverted flat spin. This is a very competitive pattern plane for the money and a blast to hot dog with. If built to the plans you could put one in the air in about 2-3 nights work. With standard servos you may end up having about $600. into it ready to fly. I have had three guys at my local field that are considering giving the plane and pattern a try after watching it fly and finding out the price, interesting.  Just FYI.
