Default Update on the straight winged Phoenix

Here are a few pics of the progress on the straight winged Phoenix.I have now found the plans and it turns out to be called a Nix designed by Dick Grieves in Canada in the 1970's.Being called a Nix its obviously a copy of a Phoenix ,but the wing is intentionally not swept. I turned it into a fixed conventional gear plane to make it simpler and I prefer that arrangement and power is by Supertigre.
Anyway whatever she turns out to be, I am quite looking forward to flying her.
