Default RE: How are those phoenix models????????

Well here are some Funstar pics prior to the first flight. I've only had a couple flights on it. Not much time to wring it out. Flys straight and true. Will not snap out of inside or outside loops matter how tight. Engine still new and under propped, on 5% it will hover at 3/4 throttle. Once I get it on 15% with a funfly prop and get all my mixes done I think it still will be the best $109 I've spent. Post flight reveled most every hinge pin backing out (no glue). And 2 aileron hinges pulling. Also wing dowels a little under size allowing some movement at the leading edge. All easy fixes and are pretty standard ARF faults. Don't be scared by the Vietnam origin. This is not a VMAR! Can't be beat for the price!
