Been flying the Phoneix Models copy of the Tiger 2 and it flies just like the kit version. They even copied the bad parts like the landing gear mounting blocks too far forward so you have to bend the legs back to keep it sitting on the gear. The two piece wing is a nice feature. I epoxied one side of the aluminum wing tube to a wing receiver tube and that took care of any play in the wing. At 109 bucks, it is an "okay" alternative to the kit version. Only "okay" because the covering is strange, the graphics are a bit odd, and it wasn't kit-built. Just like all the other Tigers, I set the CG 38% back and it slows to a crawl for landing and flies like a dream.
