I don't have a Sonic 25 but speaking for the overall quality of Phoenix ARF's, I say thumbs up. My first ARF was a Phoenix Strega to be used as a throw together sport plane and have in the air quickly. It has served me quite well for the purpose, and the quality is outstanding, and lightweight. I have given it a beating or two and it has yet to break anything. Considering, I used all stock hardware and didn't beef up anything (I did put on better wheels - foam --> [:'(]). The finish is immaculate as well.

So overall, if your question was concerning the quality of Phoenix models, don't be worried. [sm=thumbup.gif]
