RE: FB VELOX WEIGHT
Fleet Wing
Have you flown either of these models? I have built and flown both. The Velox will fly just as slow as the Phoenix despite the higher weight and thinner wing section. I think your wing area of 1600 sq. in. for the Phoenix is wrong, it is not that much bigger than the Velox. Finally the quality of the Phoenix is nothing like as good as the Velox, the Phoenix fuselage is flimsy and the paint is very poor, you do not get a fuel tank in the kit or a clear canopy, it is also £200 more expensive in the UK than the Velox.
