I also have a Phillips Conquest IV on my list of things to do..I was trying to search for a couple of old threads I remember seeing while originally researching mine..It looks like Mr. McConville has pretty much answered all the questions (Thank You!! I was interested too)

I would agree that my Phillips fuse is a bit lacking in the workmanship department and is heavier than I think it could be...I attribute it a little to the era it was manufactured also...The understanding of composites as well as the materials have come a long way since the 80's in my opinion...It may be that R/C City was more "in tune" with the technology and built a lighter fuse...I've never actually seen one of RC City's fuses but understand them to be pretty nice with excellent workmanship...I still wanna build my kit cause I think it's a pretty neat looking airframe...My wings are probably water logged and it may wind up being a tank when I'm through but it will be OK...lol (My wing feels pretty heavy too)

I have an OS 61RF-P & Bolly pipe planned for the power plant...

I'm anxious to see your's go together Rusty and please post some photo's along the way!!

Have Fun...

Chuck

P.S. Mine doesn't have the adjustable stab..I wonder if that was an option?? Or the fellow I got mine from may have decided to just build a one piece?? Mine was already mounted when I got it...
