KNPC's 43'' Conquest build
I'm starting a new cat biuld. The hull is a 43'' Aeromarine Conquest with an Avernger hatch. I have almost all the components for the build, just waiting on the motor which has been ordered. I've been able to do a few things, mostly planning at this point. Just about everything for this build was bought from OSE and forum members.
This is the plan so far
- 43'' Aeromarine Conquest hull reinforced with CF
- Speedmaster strut w/ skeg
- Speedmaster rudder
- .250 flex stepped down to 3/16
- CC Hydra 240 HV
- Neu 2230/1y (725kv)
- 10s2p 35c lipos (four 5s 5000mah packs per run)
- motor mount from Peter Zicka
- 8mm-.250 coupler from Jeff Wolt
- decals from monojeff
- prop?
Here are a few pictures. This is by far the biggest hull I've built, everything to this point has been 4s or 6s setups.

Forget about the boat, your kid is adorable. That being said, that setup will fly. You may need more than 33% C/G with the speeds you are going to hit. I just built my 1st cat as well. An Aeromarine Cyclone. Certainly two different approaches to a build. I wish I got one of Peter's motor mount esc setups, it is truley a work of art. The best of luck, and enjoy the build. I will be following your build.

KNPC,
Two things, your daughter is beautiful, enjoy her as she is so young. Mine is 24 now. Ahh the good old days. The other thing is, and I am not critisizing, but Peter's mount looks like it is to attach to stringers. Are you going to put some in. I am curious as to your layout.
