It was a very good plane. Was probaby the first pattern plane with a truely long tail moment. Yes, Chip flew one in '88 and at the '89 team trials.

I had a Phillips kit but never built it. Heres what I remember about it:

When was it designed/flown? Around 1987. I remember DP flying it at the '87 Tangerine
Was it built for a specific "pattern jockey" at the time? : It was Dave Patrick's own design.
What was it powered by? YS 60 rear exhaust
I assume a tuned pipe and it was side mounted? No. Inverted with pipe thru the belly pan.
Any photos of the original color scheme? Much the same as Patricks later models. Red, white, opange and yellow I think.
Was the Conquest V developed quickly because the Conquest IV was "crappola"? The Phillips kit was crappy. Rough glass work and fin was not molded in. RC City Conquest V was a better kit. It had more side area than the IV. The IV seemed to fly very well.
What was changed in the series...wing sweep, fuselage length, decalage...? Fuse depth is what I remember. Then size with the 120 which was never very popular.
Anyone want the twin brother? (I know where it is.)
