RE: Started my Phoenix Dolphin 40
Yep, mods look good. Be careful of the dark canopy in the sun - I tossed the gay lumberjack too, painted the canopy and it melted a little. If I hadn't sold the Dolphin I was going to put wheel pants on it - I think that would really finish off the plane.
Plane flies great. TF96 maybe you need to move your CG a bit? How come it doesn't fly well inverted? I learned how to fly inverted on mine and thought it did so fairly well - ok coming from the perspective of just moving up from a flat bottomed trainer.
