Conquest IV Restoration Project - 1/23/2007 6:58:01 AM

Status: offline 		This plane was given to me by a friend. He salvaged it from an old barn and we have no idea how long it was there. I love older aircraft and I would really like to restore this plane to it's former glory.

I have discovered that this is a Conquest IV, designed by Dave Patrick. It's missing the belly pan, so I guess I'll need to fabricate one. Does anyone out there have any old pictures of a Conquest IV that I could use as a reference?

Any other information regarding this plane would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

will you post pics up of the restored plane, because It looks like an interesting looking plane.

I like to see these awesome planes with even (awesomer?) paint jobs (Im not used to seeing painted planes that dont all look the same )

EDIT; everone is going to notice it has tail dragger under cariage (I hope you dont get slammed P)

Status: offline 		Good Luck on your rebuild project... great to see someone else keeping old pattern birds alive....

In case you haven't noticed, there is a Conquest for sale in the planes for sale section here on RCU... I'm sure that the owner could provide valuable pics and info such as CG.... I'm posting a pic of a Conquest I have just to give you a reference...
