[NSRCA-discussion] ShowTime Vs QUEST

[jonlowe at aol.com]

I've had the Quest, Showtime and Venus II.  I'd rate them, best to 
worse, Quest version 1, Venus II, Showtime.  I currently have a Venus 
II, a very good airplane, as a between seasons/learn new sequence 
airplane.  The Showtime I had last year, was disappointed, and quickly 
sold it.  No where near as good as the Venus II.  I had a Quest a 
couple of years back, liked it, but it departed the scene shortly 
thereafter.  Nice thing about the Venus is that support and parts are 
readily available, while the Quest and parts are available in spurts.

The Venus II flies surprisingly constant speed, slowing well on 
downlines, is light, and falls together.  I have an OS 1.20 AX with a 
15x10 APC, and have plenty of vertical.  You WILL need to put the 
servos in the tail, and still likely add ballast to get the balance 
right.  CG is at least 1/2' behind their recommended aft position.

Hi...........Anyone out there have any experience with
the ShowTime?  It was written up in the latest Model
Aviation Magazine and it seems like a quality airplane
for the price.  The question is, how does it fly?  If
I bought one, I would fly it without the
Side-Force-Generators and use it for the Intermediate
Class competition.  How does it fly without the
Side-Force-Generators?  I have some experience with
the QUEST.  How does it fly compared to the QUEST?
With the pluggable wings and stab and the carbon fibre
landing gear, etc. it seems to be superrior to the
QUEST in the hardware area.
