RE: Phoenix Models Sonic ....
I agree with Fred420 that the Sonic is a great value. I flew mine with a .25FX and it had more than enough power for sport/pattern type flying. Also a very durable model as I did a little parkflying with mine in and out of a small rough field and it withstood the punishment very well.
I currently am working on a Phoenix SeaBee and this is also a very nice ARF. For $99.00 it has decent hardware, very nice heat shrink film (monokote?), a fiberglass cowl and wheel pants. Tough to beat Phoenix ARF's for the cost.
