I have both the Seagull and the Pheonix... Love them both.. I am on my second Seagull and have not seen the incidence problem mentioned.. Mine were both at 0-0.. The Seagull is a little bigger then the Pheonix especially with the wide fusalage the Seagull has.. The Pheonix seems to handle a little better on the ground then the Seagull although it too is a little tricky.. I like the way they both fly.. The Pheonix fusalage is a much stronger build then the Seagull... They both share parts like the landing gear, wing struts etc...

The determining factor might be what engine you want to use... I have a .72 Saito in the Seagull and it has adaquate power.. It will do average size loops etc but verticle is limited... It will fly around nicely at a little over half throttle... Were I to do another one though I think I would go with a Mag .91 or something.. Just me though, I like them with plenty of reserve power...
My Pheonix has a Saito .56 in it... Like the Seagull it is adequate . Nice easy flyer at a little over half throttle too.. It will do a nice loop but is really pressed to get a lot of altitude for a stall turn etc.. I am thinking seriously of a Saito .72 for this one...

Both are covered with Ultracote and have beautiful fiberglass parts... Both have tailwheels that need to be replaced.. Both have usable hardware which I used... The Pheonix comes with hinges installed and pinned.. Real nice..
For the money it is hard to beat either of these..

As far as the TT goes I looked at them and they are pretty but too much plastic and waaaaay to expensive..
