RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Yesterday I did some CG changes. I added in ~2oz of weight to the tail to shift the CG to about ~130mm from 120mm.

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

the virt with the ST90 is pretty good... well depends on what you want i guess. 15x6 zinger pro had very nice pull so long as you had momentum. Same with the APC 16x4W.. They both seem to go and go...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

16x4W on the ST90 is going to be the clear winner!! It was like night and day compaired to the other props.

Next tests are going to be messing with the CG some.

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Empty tank (very low) makes the plane a ball to land that is for sure.
I think im leaning to doing the incidence mod on the main wing. Would this help much with slow high angle of attack (Harrier...

So anyone else have a lot of trouble with the coating on the plane? You iron out all the wrinkles and make it tight again. Then you take it out in the sun and bam its wrinkled mess again. Though its...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size
