Default RE: looking for a phoenix 8

Wagner,

The Phoenix 7 suggestion is a good one.  The airframe is readily available and is very well engineered.  You use a P-7 ARF as a proof-of-concept plane and see how it works out before installing it in a hard-to-find classic.

I am curious if you can hit 200,  Also, I did a quick check of your power numbers.  You might need a bigger ESC.  To get 3000 watts on 6S, you'll be pulling over 120 amps.  That assumes full charge and no voltage drpression from the load.

When you fly the E-Phoenix, please post the results.
