I will have to note they are now to be called "details." Always trying to be more PC. I know the Estes Honest John is now decaled "US Military." I guess that does in my plan for an F-105 rocket dropping retarded bombs, sorry there I go again! Flying low and feeling mean, saw a village by the stream. . . so sorry again, but this kit is bringing out the Cold Warrior mentality that was drilled into us as children. I will repress it and conform to PCness! DETAILS-DETAILS-DETAILS
Yes sir, D12,E9 & E12 are "recommended" motors, I dont got a F24 but I imagine an E15 or E30 would do the trick tooThis looks like a very cool kit. From the engine block and orange spacer, am I correct in assuming this is chambered for an Estes E motor? I'm thinking an Aerotech F24W would be about perfect!
Looking real good Thinking of adding the Conquest to my build pile There is one thing that scares me, all that wood :y: So I must ask, how do you plan to finish the wings? High build primer, tons of sanding sealer, papering, etc? As far as the details, I would call them pods, a'la the B-58 Hustler :grin: A fuel & weapons pod to be dropped on targets on the way to the primary :clap:
I thought I'd start a build thread of the new Estes Conquest so all can see this skill level 5 kit. At first I notice that it has alot of estes QCC parts. The nose cone, tail cone, & air intakes are all the same as well as it's a 24mm motor mount, but thats where the simularities stop.

Yup, gona have to add one to the pile. What paint scheme & paint are you thinking of using.
Very COOL! nice build thread CRC
I was wondering if you could give us some sense of the size of her? (wing span, length)
looking forward to seeing her painted
