Hey Nightowl,

I used to have a conquest myself at one time. Those sanwa servos will struggle to keep the rotor head controls in check, as like the millenium, the conquest has a control method called "System 88" which was developed by and used exclusively on Robbe models.

The conquest also needs quite a high headspeed to get the best out of it, and in some cases a lower one will cause vibrations, so keep that headspeed up to around the 1900 - 1950 mark. This also means that there are greater demands on the radio gear to maintain the smoothness and precision of the model. They can be setup to fly really nicely, but to do that you need good quality radio gear, decent coreless servos are a minimum for this model, and better yet mid range digitals like the futaba 3050 or 3152 on the cyclics and pitch and a decent heading hold gyro and tail servo.

Pay particular attention to the tube drive and the motor and starter gearing and meshing both the engine gears and the tail gearbox and you will have a nice little model

Cheers,
Pete.
