IMPORTANT
CG location: After
extensive testing, the CG location indicated in the manual
is too forward to ensure a smooth and consistent landing.
We recommend the CG to be anywhere from 150 to 160mm instead
of 128mm as indicated in the manual. The new manuals will
reflect this change. You should need no lead in the nose or
heavy NiCd batteries.
Grass
operation: Since
most of us do not have the luxury of tarmac fields around
us, we found the Phoenix perfectly suited for short grass
field operation (300ft). A 2 degree +ve angle of attack will
ensure a very smooth rotation on take-off. You can achieve
this by using a larger nose wheel or inserting 1/4" ply
under the retract unit.

ARF kit painted in the mold kit with the bulkheads already

as its bigger brother the ANGEL.
