Classic 70"s pattern ship
 

About 10 years ago I started building this pattern ship and then somehow stopped.Well I dug her out the other day and have decided to finish it up.I found all the parts but have lost the plans and have no idea what I have. I know the motor mounts are drilled for an old Supertigre g60 bluehead which I also still have too.What ever this plane is I'm sure it will make an excellent flyer and since its 90% built I don't need the plans anyway.

Looks like a Phoenix 8.... great flying plane.. I've got plans if you need C/G ...etc....

Skyglass Vertigo..............perhaps.

It looks like a Vertigo to me too but the fin rudder line is all wrong.

Phoenix 6

The wing sweep is wrong for a P6. This plane has a straight TE. See photo #2

Can't help on the Airplane. Sorry.

But I can say, that is one helluva airplane rack you have there!!

Have Fun...

The fuselage and tail look like a Phoenix 6, maybe mod. Phx. 6 with a straight T.E. wing?

I sorta got out of pattern after the late 70's though...what does the Phoenix 7 and 8 wing planform look like?

RE: Classic 70"s pattern ship
 

It may be a Phoenix I'm not sure.It was a long time ago and two houses so I have lost all the documentation.I do seem to remember it was a Canadian designed plane.
It has a wooden beam engine mount and the beams go clear back to the 2nd bulkhead. Where does the phoenix balance??? I will use that as my benchmark.

A later version of Ivan Kristensen's Saturn??

Tails all wrong for a Saturn

It's definitely a Phoenix 6. When the wing was joined, you may have sanded the sweep out of it accidently.

Here is a VI, and an VIII fusleages. The red one in the post, looks like a VI to me.

Pheonix 6 but the wing is wrong. Airfoil looks about right but somehow the sweep is gone.

I can see its definitely a Phoenix,you can see from the pics.I got this kit so long ago that I don't remember much about it except someone else started the wings,and I joined them.There is a extra set of wings that I have with the same airfoil, and these are swept. I will take some pictures of the swept wings and post them too. It seems the mystery is solved its a Phoenix with some type of straight wings. I got this kit from my wifes grandfather an he was always changing things around,when he died I grabbed the wings with the sweep too.I think I will continue to finish this as a straight winged Phoenix and see what happens. Thank's for all your help

It is a Bridi Planes Deception i have one of them and just about to fly it and have put a Supertigre 90 in it as it has same foot print as 60 and gives you that little bit extra punch when you need it.I got mind out of a shad of old planes never finished it is a pattern plane and i have been told it fly's like a dream and is very easy to fly , hope this helps by for now Graham.

The rudder's wrong for a Deception. See the photo in this newsletter:

I built and flew a Bridi Deception for a while. It doesn't look anything like the model in the pictures. The Deception does not have a turtle deck at all. Just a bubble canopy. That and the wing has swept leading and trailing edges (swept forward on the latter - a triple taper wing, like the Kaos).

Here's a Deception from another part of the forum.
