Not sure if I got the right section to post this, but here goes. This is a pic of an ARF that Igot from Tower long ago, I'd say about 10-15 yrs ago. As you can see, it's a little banged up, but I got some really good flights out of it. Needless to say I want to fly it again, so I want to restore it. Problem is I don't remember what the name of the plane is. Can't remember who makes it. The order was so long ago, Tower has no record of me or the order. Great Planes had no idea. PLEASEno comments about how the plane sucks or what I should get. I've flown it, I'm good at repairs.

So anyway, here's what I know:
One note, I have a fuel tank supporting the tail just so you can see how it is to sit normally, since I don't have an engine in it. The gear is trike (firewall is gone so no nosewheel in the pic). It is an arf, 40 size, back then MAP was about $149.99. Semisym airfoil. The only factory marking I could find was inside, on the servo tray, and it's a stamped number, 9811030601. The dual surface elevator called for one servo and "Y" pushrod. Bolt on wing, slight dihedral. No factory cowl.

Any ideas anyone?

Happy & Safe flying,

Me

Sure you didn't get that from Horizon?

I seem to remember a low-wing trike offering from them ten or so years ago... a newbie at the club asked for my help with one. As I recall, it was just maybe a notch or two above a 70s-vintage Lanier "ARF", quality-wise... but that color scheme sure looks like the one I'm thinking about...

Hangar 9 Advanced 40, Good sport flyer. Aileron servo needs to be centered in wing, not offset like from factory, with just about all the throw you can get. I still have mine and I think I have the instructions If you need any info.

You're good...
I found a model airplane news review by doing a google search. The picture looks the same.

HOLY CRAP, Now that the name is mentioned, it comes back immediatley!  That is it exACTLY.  Thank you sOOOOO much, you guys rock!

Didn't have the decal on the wing either, hmmm... But it is DEFINITELY the same plane, thanks again guys! I just put it in a bit too hard. I could blame it on the bad engine, but, ultimately, I was the one that put it in there, so its my fault. Anyway, what did centering the aileron servo do? Just curious, I left mine offset and you're right, LOTS of throw, and it flew fine. I was unsure about hackin away at the mains. I'm not sure tho that I noticed anything squirrely, seemed to bank evenly both ways. I do remember having to use different holes and rod lengths; does centering it just even out the load on the servo? What should I have been looking for? It would be good to know, because I have to rebuild the wing (nasty split down the center), and if I can't, try to get a new one (a long shot, I'm sure). If centering the servo makes that much of a difference, I'd like to do it.

Thanks again!</div></span><br type="_moz" />

I could never get the aileron throws equal with the servo offset . I think 2 seperate aileron servos would be the best if I was rebuilding. I have also heard of people trimming the wing trailing edge and extending full length of wing.

This is a Hanger 9 Phoenix. Well that one might not be by Hangar 9 but it is the Phoenix.

Nope, it's the Advance 40, confirmed it with Hangar 9. Already rebuilding, can't wait to fly it!
