Default RE: Help me identify a plane I inherited in 1997

I can't believe this debate has surfaced again, it's just too cool!

The Zeus was mentioned when I posted this way back when in '07. But according to post 13 in http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_66...tm.htm#6644344 Zeus doesn't work because they had a label in them and the vertical fin is not right.

Look at Rainedave's Photoshop work in post 15 on the other thread and the match between the Phoenix 1 fuse plans and the shot of my fuse is amazing. For whatever that's worth.

Bem, yes, the glass work looks professional, it's really nice. Like I said in my '07 thread listed above, the glass work looks exactly like the fuse in my untouched Skyglas .40 size Phoenix V kit. (Speaking of rare kits, anybody wanna wheel and deal on that one?)

Pimmnz, as far as to epoxy or polyester, I really don't know how to tell. Tell me what to look for. Again, looks exactly like a Skyglas fuse. Right down to the gelcoat, the seam and the interior surface.
