Status: online 		 On the other site, members told me this is a Phoenix 7 with anhedral horizontal.

It will be my first pattern bird, but the air up/down retracts are already installed.

I would like to get some more information on it, manual/tips/tricks etc...


thanks in advance.

Status: offline 		Hanger 9 is producing an arf called the Pheonix 8, a direct reproduction of Don Lowe's original. If you go to their site you can copy off their manual. But, without that, they give you alot of specs on the planesuch as throws and C.G. I flew one in the 70s with kraft retracts. They were a great airframe. The photo you show definitely looks like a Pheonix. The nose wheel takes a beating off of grass fields. Hope the hanger 9 manual helps you out. Impalas

Status: offline 		Yes that does look like a Phoenix 7 with anhedral in the stab. Likely built from the Airborne Associates kit. Same fuselage that Done Lowe gave me that was used to start the Hangar 9 ARF Phoenix 7 (not Phoenix 8 BTW).

Mike, I assume the pushrods from the 7 ARF would work with this kit then?  $12 seems better than trying to make up my own elevator pushrod setup.  If there is anyway a guy could get a servo bay from Hangar 9, that would be great too!   But I can always make my own with the scroll....

Status: offline 		They could be made to work. You'll need to be sure pushrod exits and the servo tray are in the same location, and also add support the the rudder pushrod guide tube. That method wasnt typically done in the day, but works well.....slop free.

Unfortunately the servo tray isnt available seperately. Its built into the fuse. Should be easy enough to cut one out.
