phoenix 8 verse phoenix 7
 

Can anyone tell me the difference between the p8 and p7. I have a fusalage for a p8 and no wings or stabs. I contacted a company that has a set of wings for the p8 but no tail. The company does have the cores for the p7 will these work on the p8? I am also looking for a set of plans or some tech info like dihedrial of the wings and stabs.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me

Contact George Truett @ [email protected]. You may have to wait awhile for his next run, but his P8 kit is basically just the fuse, wings & stab cores.
I'm sure he would send you just the cores.

thanks for that info but I already ordered the wings and he is waiting on me to find out if the stabs are the same before he ships.

Seen this from Don Lowe's son?

Phoenix 1 was published by RCM. Was kitted with fiberglass fuselage, but I never saw one of these kits. Originally powered by a Super Tigre .46, then a .51, then a .56 as they became available.
Phoenix 2 was a Phoenix 1 with less sweep, about 15 degrees. Not published. One built.
Phoenix 3 was somewhat larger, similar sweep as Phoenix 1 One built, not published. Airplane still exists.
Phoenix 4 was a new design, less sweep, one built, not published.
Phoenix 5 used the wing and tail from the Phoenix 4, more side area for knife edge, published by American Modeler magazine. Kitted with fiberglass fuselage, foam wing by numerous people. Also a 40 sized version was kitted with a fiberglass fuselage. TONS of these were built. Wing Manufacturing has the molds and is kitting them.
Phoenix 6 was somewhat smaller. Was kitted with a fiberglass fuselage/foam wings. Kit wasn't very good, and was heavy.
Phoenix 7 was a very minor departure from the Phoenix 6, primarily don e for another fiberglass kit seller for something different. High quality kits produced by Joe Bridi, but sold under another name.
Phoenix 8 was somewhat larger. Kits allegedly still available from PAC, but haven't tried to get one. I know the molds exist.
Phoenix 9 was a departure from previous thinking and designed for turnaround pattern. Swept leading edge, straight trailing edge. Larger overall, two piece wing, specifically designed for a muffled tuned pipe. The late Bob Godfrey (of TOC fame) built some of them up for various people. I have one, with an OS .61 RFP ABC, and pipe. Not published.
Phoenix 10 was essentially a Phoenix 9 with a longer fuselage (2 inches?). One built with a Hanno .61. Plane still exists. Last in the series.

I have a NIB P8 kit. You want me to trace the stab cores and send a template on paper with dimensions? You could cut templates and stabs from there.

PM or email me. I'm not subscribed to this thread.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me with this issue. I now have someone sending the drawings to Eureka Aircraft Company and they are going to cut them for me. If anyone is in need of any foam wings or stabs I would contact Don at Eureka. Top notch service.

Thanks again
Allen
