Hey that phantom is great. I got one of those first did a couple solo flights on it. Then my friend buddy boxed me on his alpha 40. And now im flying my own alpha. but still love the phantom for walking 4 min to the park and puttering around the sky at sunset when the wind calms down, cause to fly the glow planes i gotta drive 40 min.
But the phantom doesnt get boring (at least not yet) i challenge myself to get as long as flights possible taking it real high and then gliding it down or just give it the smallest bit of throttle. And its fun if you keep one battery pack up for 15-20 min. I think its a great starter plane, to get your first tastes of flight.
