Default RE: Phoenix models Future

I've flown the Future from Phoenix Models. About ten flights only.
I like :
The price. is really cheap
The fuselage shape
The plane is very light. About 1800 grms.
I don't like :
The wing area should be higher for a 3D.
The wing span is too short, 126 cm for a 138 cm fuse.
The main gear is too low for taking off .Should be bent to make it taller.

I've used 2 futuba 3001 servos for the tail and 2 hs 81 hitec micro for ailerons. Engine is a TT 46. It cames with a very heavy engine support which should be replaced for a standard one.

It flies fine so far. I was able to torque roll it, but I still have to test it with more throws and move the c.g. further back. (Ignore the manual recommendations on c.g.).
