What can you tell me about this plane?
I have a deal pending on this older pattern plane. It's called, obviously "Conquest". It has a Y.S. .60 2 cycle in it and some type of retracts.
I've never owned any pattern planes (new or older), and really don't know what to expect....except it looks fast.
Thanks in advance,
Wiz

The Conquest series was designed by Dave Patrick. The one in the picture looks like either a III or IV version which he built in the early 90's. They flew the then fairly new turn around schedule very well. They were a little weak in rudder authority due to minimal side area in front of, and over, the wing. But, they flew very smooth. Yes, they are pretty fast, but not as fast as an Aurora or some of the other super sleek models of the time.
