Quest 90 3D

[Earl Vincent]

HI Bill, as you can see by Erics reply, he had a 91 in it first and that pulled it just fine, the 110 with the stock
muffler works fine, mine with the pumped Webra 120 has a pipe, however I ran this engine on a pitts muffler in
my Ultimate and the pipe pulls it up only approx 200 rpm, the 120 on a reg muffler would work fine as well. Prop size has more effect on the performance than the exaust. Good luck with yours it really is a lot of bang
for the buck.
Earl

  Earl:
  So the YS 1.10 would, with the stock exhaust, be ok?
  Thanks
  Bill

    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.
