Default RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon

Looks nice! Your cowl is cut exactly like mine. My battery is mounted just like yours too. I have a .45 evolution with a 11x7 prop. I maidened mine about a week ago and all went pretty well. It performs good especially for the money it cost. I have only one flight on her because the weather turned bad. The only thing I have to work on is getting it to land right. When it touches down it wants to hop back up. I think we had four or five good landings (hop ups) in one attempt. The touchdowns were not harsh so I was surprised when it came back up. My friend suggested maybe moving a little weight forward and testing again. We will see. It will be two more weeks before I can make it to the field again to mess around with it.
