RE: Hobbyzone Phantom
Regarding AMA insurance: it will cover you whether you are flying at one if the sanctioned fields or not, as long as you are not doing anything ILLEGAL. If you are flying an R/C plane or heli in NYC and you are not at Floyd Benett Field, you are technically flying against the law and AMA insurance WILL NOT COVER YOU!
The Pro Tail mod drastically changes the flight characteristics of a v-tail pod and boom plane. I don't know of anyone who has made one for the Phantom, but it works great on the Aerobird Challenger, Aerobird3, and Firebird Freedom. I would love to hear of someone trying it on the Swift and on the Phantom.
