Quest Raptor Build Finished


What a sharp design! It's a bigger than you might think, almost as big as the Quest Aerospace One.
Thanks to Scott (Rokitflite on YORF) for the great design.
I agree with JeffyJeep on TRF, you are better off painting this one beforehand in sub-assemblies then glue it all together. It would be a tough mask otherwise.











Be careful when gluing on the fin unit. You'll be tempted to glue the fins on backward.
The outside edges and red pads face forward!
Use the double glue technique on both the fin unit and underside tank.

I was a little disappointed with the decals. The eight piece canopy would be too hard to place and space evenly. Other decals had print transferred from the instruction sheet on them.

The kit face card says it could be flown with an A6-4 engine, but I wouldn't chance it!
I'll fly it first with a B6-4, but this is really a C6-5 bird.
