Phoenix Models A-26 Invader
Just noticed this plane in the Tower ad in the new issue of Model Aviation. Looks pretty good. Not on the Tower website yet though. Looks like a really cool project. 92" wingspan, I believe and ready for either piston engines or electric motors. Anyone know where to get one?

Yep , I just noticed yesterday and if you google it , you can see a flight video !
I just finished the Phonie Stinson and have the Lizzy in my hanger, for me the quality of Phoniex is outstanding especially when compared with the cost !
I cant wait to get this one , I am going electric powered !

The two 32 size epower motors that the Tower Techs suggested are rated at 7 lbs ( best case ) =14 lbs in total.
The plane is listed at 15lbs to 17lbs ?
Anyone have an epower suggestion ?
I would love to use either two 4 cell 4500 packs or jump to two 6 cell 60 size motors
I am not understanding the HV suggestion on the esc considering each motor will have its own set up ?
Also why do you need an 8 channel minimum TX ?
You have alerons =1, Flaps 1, rudder 1, retracts 1, electric motors 1 elevator 1, I am up to 6 channels in total considering all flaps are linked, the alerons are linked , the esc are linked , so what am I doing wrong ?

I will be using a 14 channel receiver and will not be using any wye connectors on mine. Being able to individually adjust everything is really nice.

Thanks Steve but I only have a 7 channel TX so does that mean I should pass up on this bird ? I have run two esc/ motors off of one y connector with zero issues.
In checking in on the eflight 46 again somewhat confusing info on max weight would come in around 14lbs.
When I do a 55 glow conversion I come in around a 700 or so KV so the 46 makes sense but the factory specs still limit the all up weight when you combine two.

Much like her namesake she flies fine and as fast as any fighter at the field. She is a tad heavy so you need to FLY HER to the ground and only chop the throttles once you touch down, other wise you drop.
