Default RE: nt on the Phoenix models

I have been flying the Lazer from Phoenix models on and off for six months.
Sadly I can't say that I like the build quality. The wood is very brittle especially the fuz to wing bolts which while I tightened the wing bolts one day, the side of the fuz split. Although I repaired the fuz side the covering is a little damaged. Very poor wood by other maufacturing standards.
The inverted engine is a pain to start.
I also don't think it flys as nice as the old Comet sadly!
Thus I don't take it to the field that often.
It flys okay but not an aircraft that will last- well I guess if I don't take it to the field that often pehaps it will.
