            I really love your quad build........
            What is the CG % ?
            How do you attach your hatch ?
            (tape/bolts?)

            On my 12s Plett powered Conquest, I used an "Avenger Pro" hatch.
            I call it a "Conquest Pro" .
            This is an exact fit hatch and I prefer the suave appearance.
            I allso believe it is slightly lower wind drag as well.

              Thanks Jason and hope yours is going well too, been in the hundreds for a few weeks now and add another 10 deg for the oil patch..lol. and wife is keeping me lined out
              Everything is ready but one hang up , one of my castle motors is from a diffrent mill run and isn't up to quality like my other 3, I think it is a older version . Waitng on a replacement.

                I think cg was close to 50% and hatch tape is holding the lid Thanks for the coment , I remember watching your youtube vid of the Conquest on 10s

                  My CG is @ 30% and The 10s was only a test,

                  I really did not like the 10s and returned to 12s.

                    I have been trying to do some completion work on the boat. Its taking me a while because of the heat in the garage and buisey work and family schedule.
                    Currently have been installing motors and have been taping out the 3mm mounting threads to 4mm for better holding power and strength since am only using 2 bolts a moror. All 8mm bullets ( 20 pair !) to keep power flowing. Thanks Brian for helping me last saturday to get things moving.
                    Shouldn't be to long now . Will have video and some pics for sure .

                            First test run and video.

                            Howz it been going fellas ! Finally ran her and it was good ! Next step will need some prop work to de-tung the 447s and get some capacitor banks. All temps were good but the caps got around 140 deg. It was in the low 90's hear in Bakersfield.....too hot !!

                            GPS tomarro, I think it is running in the mid 60's
