RE: Pheonix Extra 330S 60-90 Size
I agree with Moody and Billie. Have had no issues with the landing gear. As I have said before, mine is pretty well box stock, weighs in at 7 lbs. I fly mine with a shallow decent with a little power on landing and have no problem. It just kisses the ground. I had one dead stick and I kept the speed up and landed with no problem. I personally think if you fly your final approach too steep with power off with this airplane you will be wishing you hadn't because steep approaches will mean hard landings and bent gear. It's kind of funny, a lot of guys never learn how to fly. They get a few planes, start into 3D but every landing is a controlled crash. Every time I go to the field I take my tower trainer and shoot a bunch of touch and goes, then get out my aerobatic model and shoot touch and goes. Makes for wonderful flying skills. I consider myself an intermediate flyer and am not in to 3D. Just like to do classic aerobatics.
