Default Pheonix Models

Hi Guys,
I have read plenty off good and bad reports about a lot of ARF's and having had quite a few different brands while learning they are certainly a mixed bag.
But I have to praise Pheonix models, I have had their Canary as my first high wing trainer and it really stood up to the rough learning process, wore 2 other brands out in the meantime. Then bought their Dolphin low wing and am still flying it. I can't believe a model can be this robust. It has had it's wings smashed, Fuze broken in half, several new landing gear wires and many other learning injuries.
Even managed to do a TREE POINT landing today when I ran out of fuel on take off (was enjoying myself so much I forgot about the fuel). A few quick repairs and we were in the air again. The poor pilot is hooked on pain killers now.

My mate and I also have their new Diablo .60 size, what a well built and a fantastic flying plane especially for the price.

Well done Pheonix.
