During the time doing this project,, with many interuptions,, the one question
has always been.. " When will it fly"...
Welp,, kidz.. On 11/11/05 it took to the air... Yup.. I *finally* flew the Phoenix...

I even took some pics... However,, being a cloudy day, flying off a grass field,
and starting to get dark,, the pics were not so good.. So I will do more another time...

Take off was in an instant... Was a little squirrly,, got it under control,, and just
started to trim it out when one motor died.. CRAP !!!
Much to my surprize,, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be given zero out thrust
and being highly over powered...[>:] If it would not have been so windy I probably would
have continued to fly it on one motor but I took the easy way out,, Yes, I brought it down..

So as short of a flight as it may have been,, *FINALLY*,, the title of this thread is true...

The FLIGHT of the Phoenix... [8D]
