Status: offline 		I just got mine in the air last weekend, i did go all out on mine with mechanical retracts and a macs pipe on my old fx46. it flys very well, nice and smooth and no bad habbits. landing is just a bit faster than a trainner but thats maybe because of my extra weight in retracts. the conversion was a bit of work, probabaly more than i wanted to do to such a cheap plane. i also lowered the tank 10mm. cheers Greg

Status: offline 		Hi Folks,

I"ve just started to assemble the plane.Mine is also from Phonix,but its the larger,1700mm wingspan version, it comes with flaps.I"m gonna fly it with a brand new 10cm 2str Magnum engine.My overall impression is good nas for the quality and look is concerned.The covering is wrinkle free and has nice color.7 Fut S3003 servo will move the control surfaces.

Status: offline 		Greeting, John here. I had one of those and I loved it. The thing flys great and relatively easy to land. On word though. the balsa panels on either side of the fuse meet at the leading edge of the wing. They are butted to each other on the Ply former(which is also the thinnest part of the plane when meassured from top to bottom) you can see from the inside. One the occasion that you hit the nose, it has a tendence to break the sides. Going in and re-enforcing this area with some heated epoxy or some thin CA is not a bad idea. that is the only problem that I experienced with this plane. I lost mine when my elevator servo stripped right after take off. The thing rolled over and center punched a tree. The plane was a total loss. I really miss this plane but I look at a crash as a chance to move on so I upgraded to a Revolver.

Status: offline 		So,
from u that you OWN this ARF,

do you suggest it yes or no?
Ofcourse some majour re-inforcements are needed (in my oppinion) to all ARF's we buy.
Just to be sure we did sth...
