Default RE: Phoenix Cap 232

46 is ok for the plane but a 61 - 70 four stroke or a 50 - 52 2 stroke is the ticket. Me, I like the YS 63 but an os or saito 70 would work fine as well. the planes are heavy but thankfully they are built strong.

Went to fly the Sukhoi other day and it was windy. Windy enough to make it difficult to put on the wing. I shouldnt have tried but....
The plane got about 1 1/2 feet up and a crossswind gust came and violently slammed the plane down. Id Never seen this before. Loose cowl, bent LG, scratched the spinner and a broken prop.
I started reaming a prop to try again and I thought better of it. I have nothing to proove.

Some planes would have split at the seams.

Good luck,

I liked what I saw well enough that I purchased 2 more planes after seeing the first.
