For whatever its worth, it looks like a Phoenix 6 to me also. There is an outside chance of it being a 7, but definitely not an 8 or 9.

Also, I've read that Wing Mfg. will re-kit both the Phoenix 5 & 6, along with other classic pattern planes (through its Classic brand), so check the website or call them.

vellum2,

Thank you for your concern. Please do ask Don Lowe and let us hear what he has to say.

RC YEAGER , Thank you too for the info. But do you think they can do the Fuselage too ? or it's just the Wing? (Assuming from their name).

Thanks.

They will sell the whole kit through a related company named Early-RC-Planes, or something like that. Wing Manufacturing is known mostly for a Hal Parenti designed kit of the B-25 Mitchell WW-II bomber, and other scale kits and "short" kits. The name's origin relates to the fact that they also sell cores for various designs and foam cutting equipment too.

You can go to their site at www.wingmfg.com and in there you'll find a link to the other company. Even though the site mentions the Phoenix 5, I read elsewhere that they plan to kit the Phoenix 6 too. The only bummer is that these and all the other low wing pattern designs from the 60's and 70's that the site mentions appear to be on the planning stages; i.e. production is not yet up and running. Maybe you can contact them for further detail.

Good luck.

RC YEAGER,

Thank you for the good news and for the site ! I will try contacting them and and hopefully we'll hear good new from them !

Hey there Mob Z. I did talk with Don Lowe over the weekend. Yours was definitely not the P9. I was remembering correctly that the 9 was a big departure from the earlier ones. He also mentioned that the best one he designed was the 10, of which he only made one (his). Yours was definitely not an 8 and I didn't have the picture to verify with him, but all suspicions are that yours was a P6. Any luck putting it back together?

Hello Joe W.,

Thank you for verifying the Phoenix with Don Lowe. I haven't actually started yet because now I am abroad doing my University studying [sm=confused_smile.gif], so I might start my project say after 3 months from now (which is way too long). Anyways I will let you know once I start the project and hopefully post some pictures as I move along.
