Default RE: Phoenix Future 3D

they fly quite nicely. but there are a couple of things to remember

1 - DO NOT TRY TO FLY IT FAST. The control surfaces WILL flutter and you will destroy it very quickly - I know this from personal experience after someone who shall remain nameless accidentally put the wrong prop on one.

2 - Strengthen the fuselage area towards the back of the wing saddle. These planes suffer a similar issue as the Hangar 9 Twist in that that area is a little weak and a "hard landing" will snap the fuselage in half.

Otherwise, Build it as per the manual, set the throws as per the manual, Set the Cof G as per the manual (The number doesn't look right but it does work) Put on a wide blade, small pitch prop (someting like a 12/4W) and have some fun. Tehya re a great fun plane to fly.
