Default RE: phoenix twin

I have one and am doing a review on it. It's easy to assemble. It will fly on a pair of .46s, but .61s are better. I am using 2 OS .65LAs and have plenty of power. It does nice big aerobatics, has a slower roll rate than a 3D plane and lands easily. If you are used to the usual .46 fun fly and 3D stuff, you'll find it super easy and probably dull.

My only complaint is the wing bolts are a pain to get in. They are 5mm socket head that you install from the inside. The space is narrow. I replaced mine with 5mm hex head that I can use a ratchetting box end wrench on.

You can see that the wing uses 2 tubes and fits into the fuselage. The actual usable space inside is quite narrow.

You can also see that I lost an engine in flight. Actually, the OS didn't quit on its own, the pushrod connector we installed on the throttle arm came off, allowing the carb to roll shut, killing the engine. The plane handles fine.

You'll find a lot more in the Twins Forum.
