RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon
So far I've managed to complete the wing and get the tail feathers glued on. The wing has an aluminum tube dihedral brace which is epoxied into each wing half. The wing halves mated together perfectly, no fitting of parts required. Very nice indeed.
I'm very impressed with the quality of this ARF! All the hinges are pinned leaf type hinges, not CA hinges, which is an improvement over the Lanier. The rest of the supplied hardware seems to be of good quality too, so I'll probably just try the included clevises and pushrods.
Hope to get a bit of time tonight to get the landing gear and tailwheel installed. I'll post a few more pics as I can.
