A correction.

AeroTech and Quest MERGED.

AeroTech did not purchase Quest.

It was a matter of survival for both companies.

While AeroTech continues to release new motors and (Hopefully soon) new kits Quest has been stymied by the lack of a motor supplier.

The cost of the Chinese made motors went up in price so much that there was no value to buying them any more.

There has been much work on in-house made motors but technical/production/certification issues have held up these motors.

Quest is not dead but it may be awhile before things get back to the way they were 5-6 years ago.
