Hi all here is another weight; Velox vs Phoenix
Phoenix wing, no servos or spar 2 lb 6oz; Velox 2 lb 12 oz
Phoenix booms 2 lb 6 oz; Velox 2 lb 8 oz
Phoenix stab 13 oz; Velox stab 13oz
Phoenix fuse 5lb 4 oz; Velox 6 lb 12 oz
Phoenix total =10 lb 13 oz; Velox total=12 lb 13 oz
Behotec retracts, trailing leg struts, wheels &brakes in Phoenix, no tank or spar
FB retracts, struts, wheelsand brakes in Velox; no tank or spar
Velox wing is only 9.6 % thick with high point at 30 % cord at wing panrl root rib. Phoenix is 14.1 % thick at same point. Velox stalls should be at higher speed, sudden and sharp. Don't try to s-t-r-e-a-c-h it on landing or it might fall out from under you (full scale expression)
Velox heavier fuse is because of thicker skin & stiffer construction. Velox wing area is about 1066 in^2. Phoenix is about 1600 in^2 so wing loading is significantly less.
Hope this gives you a better feel for it.
Regards
Fleet Wing
