Phoenix Models F-20 Tigershark ARF .40-.56,56.7"
It took me almost a month after building my shrike (and crashing it) to decide what I wanted for my next plane and this is what I came up with.
Reasons why :::: It's an ARF (no glue fits)
:::: its fast and low winged ( after flying the shrike all other planes feel like slugs)
:::: small for quick maneuvers
:::: cost is reasonable.
:::: looks darn good
Well I think you get the point , feel free to fill me in on any information about this plane . Thank You .

They fly just great, Very quick at full throttle, but quite slow and floaty for landing. Pheonix did a good job in designing the flight characteristics of this model.
However, like all ARF's, you will find small and annoying items that must be changed during building, Examples are nose wheel mounting block held in with self tappers instead of blind nuts/bolts.

The one that was flying at my club (the model is now deceased- radio interference) was only powered by a Magnum. 46XL and went like the proverbial with that in it. A .50 would give you even more grunt. I would say that it would be just fine.

Woody 51 , thanks for the information, I have now changed my mind and will be ordering the MACH Racer .46 Delta ARF. This should give me the satisfaction of the speed I need.
