Camera crew...excellent work. Overall presentation and flight, just first class...! Thank you both, and may you keep going with a wonderful relationship...we need more people like you, to show the world, there are good humans out there !
My first 2M sailplane was a hobby king Phionex some 10 years ago. Got a new one just waiting to get my wings back. I love gliders! Cant wait to get it in the air! You 2 rock!
OMG Brian - this is a great learning tool for beginner to intermediate guys like me! This is such an informative video w.r.t. time run & explanation, I think you made a sale. Volantex RC ... you owe Brian and crew sales commission! Many thx!
Brilliant!! I just got one of these, and after seeing this vid,.. maaan I can’t wait to get it in the air!! Really nice fly’n too man. Rolls on in, smooth as silk, and snatch it out the air 😄, a most impressive landing 😉👍🏼
Hey Brian!! Thanks for the phoenix vids. You inspired me to get one and post a few vids. I started flying RC in November and can't stop. I can't explain how flying makes me feel! I just hope to get a little south of where I live (coastal Oregon), so I can learn to fly some much faster slopes. Most of the beaches close to me don't have much to give in lift so once in awhile I have to use some motor.....but who cares! I'm having fun and getting some really good shots of the areas I fly. I didn't go full house on my setup, but man.....its still nice to fly. Thanks again Brian!!! (and camera person)!!!!!! :)
AWESOME!!! I get what you're saying - flying is a strangely fulfilling experience. It takes 100% of your focus, especially when you're new. It's a hard fought skill that can't be bought. It's rewarding, and NOT easy! When you get it, you have a skill that few have, and most don't understand! Keep at it and you'll be expert enough to fly just about anything!!!
I do enjoy your vids, fun with practical knowledge thrown in for good measure. You flew that bird so well. The V2 seems to be the best Phoenix produced yet. Excellent performance from all parties involved in this vid. Well done.
Thank you PJ! We were very happy with this plane, and hope that you'll consider it. Totally agree Volantex is making a pretty high quality plane these days! I only wish they'd replace the elevator and rudder servos with Emax Metal Gear 12g servos (same size as a 9g plastic gear servo...and very powerful!!!). Maybe I need to make that mod at some point, as it'd be super easy to do...
What a beautiful plane Brian! - And nice flying. After watching a couple of videos (yours and Andrew Newton's) I ordered one of these - couldn't resist.
I'm glad you did! I love watching Andrew Newton's and Allen More's stuff too! They both do a GREAT job. When you get it I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. Good luck, and thanks for watching!
ohhhhh my gosh, he's using an orange receiver. Kamikaze flight , sooner or later. LoL. love your vids Brian. keep up the good work, course your camera crew is terrific.i think she needs a raise.
Love your vids mate...i use your tx settings on all my planes...you explain things very clearly, great for a total newbie/novice like me! I bought a V2 about a week ago and absolutely love it!! Cheers for another great test vid.
Excellent! I'm so glad to hear you're getting some good from my videos! I do put a lot of effort into them, so it's nice to hear some positive feedback like this. Thanks!
nice review, I flew this plane down in Florida at the 44th Tangerine Soaring Meet, basic setup with 3 position flaps and a vario, there was 72 sailplanes in the electric class, I finished second, i was competing against some beautiful 3 and 4 meter full carbon sailplanes that cost $2,000 to $ 4,000, so foam beats out carbon at the biggest soaring contest in Florida.
I bet they were pissed!!! It is a great plane for the money, and it's not bad stock!!! I still thing for longevity sake, replacing the elevator and rudder servos with Emax 12g Metal Gear Servos, would be a super easy, relatively inexpensive upgrade. Did you add anything to yours, or just stock?
I thought you might have said, "Allen from Newbie RC told me the plane would fly this good without a stabilizer. His channel is so cool make sure you subscribe" ha ha. My phoenix 2000 set up was super basic but very effective. Flaps either hard on or off. I would fly or weave in fast and low then slam on the brakes, and hand catch. Technique works well in confined or non existent landing areas or in ground turbulence
I need, AND, use an elevator. Just floating around and catching thermals can get a bit boring when there other fun things to do with one's glider. You know what I mean Brian. It shows in your crazy man flying. Power to you .....
Brian Phillips I’m not It trolling you!! Just joking around. Love your content. Hope you get into that new house soon. I do know the wait can be excruciatingly long. Once the roof, windows and siding are on...the finish work takes the longest.
Thanks - excruciating is the exact work for this experience. It's hard to explain to someone who hasn't built a house, because they just think you're ungrateful...but you evidently know better ;)
Brian Phillips I know exactly what you mean. My wife and I have built 2 houses during our marriage. Each time we’re totally new experiences. When you spend your own hard earned cash you want it done right. Sadly, there are a lot of contractors who prey on customers who are push overs. Too bad the industry doesn’t have more Mike Holmes contractors.
TWO houses...you must be gluttons for punishment - LOL ;) My wife's dad was a builder for the better part of her life, so she's been around it for her whole life, and as a kid, my parents built two houses, one of which my Dad had to rebuild after it was hit by a tornado. Also, my Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, and Cousins have been building houses from when we were very young too. We used to get together to pour concrete (mostly just flat work), and install trusses together. The deal went something like this...if you can help, you better help, since you might be the benefactor on the "next" build. We did this maybe 10 times throughout my childhood. I actually fell into a stack of trusses and landed, cutting the pad of my thumb really bad, which was awesome as it got me out of framing our house (the one that got hit by a tornado) for that summer. We're fortunate to have lots of background, but even still, it's hard to get people to show up as the economy is booming (in spite of what the fed chairman has been trying to undermine for his whole term!!!)
Hi Brian. Great build and fly series, although I was out of my old RC element when it came to setting up the radio. Most of the buy links for the Tx go to discontinued models. Here's what most of us need: A buy list with links to a minimum and middle price range. The DX-16 is/was over $600. Would something around $200 to $250 work, and which brand? Your buy site for the plane isn't a dedicated hobby site. Tower doesn't have the Phoenix. Hobbyking is backordered on the the plane today. So TX, receiver, which batteries (probably need more than one for the field), other electronics as options, the charger is almost the price of the plane, balance tips, on board battery readout, stabilizer (not sure how they work). I'm only used to highstart launches; these motorized gliders are new to me. With the DX16 this gets over $1,000. A good target for everything is around $600 if possible. Anyhow, check your buy links to see which ones are still good. It would be great to give you all the affiliate commissions. ART Update: Hobbyking has it in stock at $139.33. They are showing it as a 759-3 vs. 759-2. Length 1283mm vs. 1132 on Banggood, although the weight is the same. PNF vs. PNP. I think they are the same thing except PNP is trademarked. Are you / can you be an affiliate for Hobbyking?
I have so many videos, it's very challenging to keep all the links up to date. I spend almost 3 evening just updating 90 videos. Here's my basic links. Everyone has a different price point, so this is the challenge. I usually share the link to the item reviewed right at the top, then I have a bunch of other items lower for people to choose from. I've also added links to SITES, so that if you don't see it, you can navigate to the whole web site, then just make your choice. Every little bit helps, and at this point of my life, I refuse to make a Patron account...even though some have suggested I do....I just don't feel right begging for money...I DON'T feel bad at all asking companies benefiting from my marketing to share about 1-3% on sales. I feel this is fair, and it keeps me honest...I don't care what people pick, but I want to be know for being honest, even if I stand to gain a few buck a month from purchases from a particular vendor. I really do like Horizon Hobby, and they are great, but they aren't perfect. I liked Hobbyking much more when I was first getting into this hobby as I was spending less, and nobody was sending me gear to use...which they are now, at such a pace that I can hardly keep up. This was what I asked for, and I'm loving it...and hating it at the same time. I'm struggling to get from working, and then doing this on the side to ...doing this, and then not working ;) Either way....here's my "generic" links... I have other lists too for some of my most popular, and more in depth reviews....like the Airbus A330-600 (30Million+ Views) This is marketing for my channel, and it's one of my worst videos - super annoying, BTW!!!

Hey Brian!! This model really flies fast on a 3S 2200. I was a little surprised. I didn't go full house, just the 5 channel setup. (I've been flying since November 2020) have you tried on a 4S battery? Did you stay with the expo setup? I set up my dual rates and expo as per your instruction and it flies pretty good. The crappiest servo was on my rudder. It actually stripped in flight. I was able to land it by countering with ailerons and a LOT of luck! Another pilot was out and saw it happen and gave me a metal gear servo as a replacement. No issues since then. Thanks for showing us this model and how you got it set up. GO FLY!!! 🛩🛸✈
I used a 4S on the stock configuration of the ASW28 (Same motor and ESC combo if I understand right) and with my ASW28, the motor would "Fart"...when the timing gets out of whack. Pretty tough when you wait till the last second and give throttle, and nothing happens! Especially when you're WAY out and you can't hear it NOT working - very bad issue to have.... I found 3S totally fine on this plane, so that's what I always used.
Thanks a lot Brian. 👍 Very good video series on the Volantex Phoenix 2000 V2. I am French and unfortunately I do not understand everything about the settings radio control because there are no subtitles available. 😪 Thanks a lot and see you Philippe
Thanks Phil Delm! I hope we can help, but it's been so long since we set this one up. We will be doing TWO new sail planes in the next few weeks, if you want to check them out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Merci Phil Delm! J'espère que nous pouvons vous aider, mais cela fait si longtemps que nous n'avons pas créé celui-ci. Nous allons faire DEUX nouveaux avions à voile dans les prochaines semaines, si vous voulez les vérifier.
Yeah Brian , this Phoenix V2 is pretty cool and I am going to purchase this. However have to wait till next pay check !! Just bought the Slow Poke last nite from HK on their flash sale. I'm trying to get into all my low wings that are just collecting dust ☹️ maybe one day I'll work my way into all the airliners. ( sorry ) I sidetrack easily.. LOL.. This glider is the next bird on the front porch !!! Definitely
Great videos to watch. You spurred me on to buy my 1st glider, the Phoenix Evolution 1.6/2.6m. I have to say.... You sound and look quite like Jack Black, no insult intended!!! We fly from a beach in the UK so I'll hopefully learn to slope this thing in the future. I'll look through your videos for tips on setting up my radio now. Keep up the good work. Cheers... Steve (North East FPV)
Brian , just want to thanks you for this serie of build and set for this beauty, I've just bought it and soon I'll be in the build process so all those vid gone help me a lot. Also , that makes a loooong time that I watch yours vids and you're such a great personn. Salute to your wife who is a very good camgirl an also a RC specialist now . Salute to all our RC pilot's wives who are very comprehensive and forgiving for this hobby that takes so much place. (as some others for me just check my vids :-D )
How many milimiters is your take off and landing flaps of your phoenix? Also please include your throws for the aileron elevator and rudder at 100% rate.. thank you
Hello Brian. I always look forward to your videos. You both do a great job. If you don't mind reaching back into your past, I have a question. I have the Volantex Phoenix V2 that was never built and needs a receiver. I've recently returned to RC flying and my muscle memory isn't tuned in yet. If you were to install a Spektrum safe receiver, what would you recommend? Thank you!!!
AR630 bit.ly/3zpdgVR OR AR631 bit.ly/3v0w3Fy - just external antenna is the difference here, but both have "fly By" Telemetry. AR637T bit.ly/3OlgIpB - Add VARIO, a great tool for sail planes, and more full range telemetry
I like the Excalibur, but not 100% sure what's next...well, that's what I'm sticking with.... (I actually have it on my door step right now....and it will be flying ASAP!!!)
No, won't act as a vario...it's basically a REDUNDANT receiver. It's more for planes that have carbon fiber blockages to avoid radio interference / disconnections, and this sort of thing. If you want VARIO, we have that now, all day long in our more current Rx offerings. I'd suggest the AR637T or AR8263T if you want AS3X (Stabilization) and/or SAFE (Auto-Leveling) - Here's a link to another video where we set it up, but just imagine it were in this Phoenix, if you wish. Links to Rx'es below too... Without AS3X/SAFE... bprc.me/AR410 bprc.me/AR620 bprc.me/AR6610T
Hello Brian and Cam Crew. I have a FMS ASW-17. Great glider. I should want to add a little sail plane in my team, Quick to put in the car and to take off on the field. What could you say about general quality of this Phoenix 2m? Is it a nice glider with low price compare to a Multiplex Easyglider or Solius ? Low stall risk? Huges system with clips ? Thks.
Awesome Brian, skills at the sticks and lots of great filming from Mrs Megan, that plane looks great. How do you think it compares to the asw-28? I was just curious about what you thought. Thanks for your video keep flying you guys. Have a great day. Stay warm. Until next time thanks again from Tennessee.
This one is better, as is the 2.6/1.6m variation... This one is actually a lot better, in fact! It's cheaper, far easier to assemble, and better flying in almost all aspects...HOWEVER...this is not a SCALE plane, and as I've mentioned before and I'll stick to my guns on this - Scale planes are serving a different purpose, looking AWESOME ;) Which the ASW-28 does splendidly.
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Raphael Simon Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I have only needed it a couple time in my RC career. It is just kinda hit or miss on some of these planes. As far as if it's like "normal" there isn't really a "normal" but when I've done it, it's super simple... Turn on TX Full Throttle Plug in plane (use caution so you don't get cut) Wait for songs form ESC (through the motor) Then Throttle to 0% Done Fly and enjoy ;)
Hi Brian, is breaking when the prop stops turning completely? Can you pl tell me what is breaking and when you would need it. Also, “crow”. What is crow? Thanks
ESC Braking is when the ESC actively STOPS (or resists) the rotation of the motor when the signal is below a certain threshold, usually at or near zero throttle, which is how the folding prop folds back. Without braking, the prop will "tractor", or spin free. The centripetal force will keep the prop OUT, and there will be a tremendous amount of drag, without the offsetting thrust from a powered prop. As for "CROW" AKA "CROW Breaking" AKA "BUTTERFLY"... this is when you have the inboard flaps down, and the outboard ailerons both up, while still functioning as ailerons (also know as SPOILERONS ...Spoiler + Aileron). This forces the outboard portion of the wing to bleed off much of the lift being produced, while creating lots of drag on the inboard portion of the wings, all while allowing the pitch of the plane to remain in a nose down attitude, without gaining speed. This slows down the plane, almost to a stop, but lowers the stall speed dramatically, and keeps the plane docile because the ailerons are still relatively effective at a very low airspeed. The breaking is a MUST on a sail plane, as they aren't designed to fly under power, but rather to be carried to altitude and then sailing back to ground, or thermaling, or sloping. As for CROW, this helps to get a plane slowed down FAST! It DOES work, and it makes a HUGE difference. You need to try BOTH, if you're not already using these features ;)
Thanks for that explanation. Crow is good on all planes? or just sail planes? I assume you can't use a y-harness for the ail? Separate chan? Do you have a video on the set up. And a vid on breaking thanks
It's especially good on sail planes that have ONE wheel :) OR any plane you might want to catch, or land in a very tight spot. You need Three channels for this wing....ONE channel for both flaps, ONE channel for the LEFT Aileron, and ONE channel for the RIGHT Aileron. You can not have crow with any less than three channels. Yes, I setup the CROW in the RADIO SETUP video, here's the whole playlist (in the description)... Unboxing - ua-cam.com/video/-uCTZkEdRXM/v-deo.html Build 1 Decals - ua-cam.com/video/4CD47oUm6j4/v-deo.html Build 2 Assembly - ua-cam.com/video/b23eyhUZBZs/v-deo.html Build 3 Radio Setup - ua-cam.com/video/riuObqnjvpk/v-deo.html (
do you think this i can put a 4s 22 mah lipo in this? will it burn any electronics? balancing shouldnt be a huge concern but do you think it might need weights in the back if i choose to use it, i just bought this plane.
It will run the motor, and the ESC and Motor are supposedly rated for 4S, BUT the motor will FART...and you will go to give her throttle, and the motor will NOT spin up (but instead - "fart")...then you'll be able to get it to start only after throttling down to 0%, then back up... I've experienced this with my ASW28, with the same stock ESC/Motor Combo, and I lost the plane because of it ;( That being understood, I was a lot less experienced pilot at the time.
Sunbird is a balsa kit, and the Phoenix is a PNF. If you don't mind the build, the Sunbird is very cool!!! BUT the Phoenix will be way faster into the air...BUT, I'd encourage you to get THIS instead... Conscendo Evolution 1.5m bit.ly/2DPmW2F ...but if you still want the other choices, here's the links... Phoenix Evo 1.6/2.6m amzn.to/2FGsR6e / bit.ly/2yPQ8nI Phoenix V2 2m amzn.to/2UW7AQy / ban.ggood.vip/5a5y Sunbird 1.6m Glider Kit amzn.to/2CJy6DX
Great job with the build and the maiden flight! Will the wings from the Phoenix V3 (2400mm) or the 1600mm/2600mm wings from the Evolution work? Would be nice to get all 3 set sizes in one. ;)
Hi Sasha, I think you are confused. The 2.4 m is the version two, or the most recent version, the Phoenix evolution with the 1.6/2.6 m wing is the version one, and I am 99.99% sure they won’t swap over as the wing mounting hardware and design are completely different.
"Expo" is Exponential output. It's a way to make the sticks less responsive in the middle (softer) and fully responsive toward the outside of the sticks. It's hard to explain, but it helps make a plane feel more "flyable" and easy to control. Here's a video about Expo, that I did a while back. - ua-cam.com/video/u5DnWEyAKDY/v-deo.html
Then a 2200 battery is not too heavy to glide? I probably will buy this plane and i dont know what to take If a 1500mah 25c or 2200 25c. Love all yours videos of the plane :)
You could do a 1500mAh or a 2200mAh, but I'd go for the smaller one, if you're trying to thermal. I don't have patience to do a lot of thermaling, but this plane does very well on 2200mAh 3S 60C packs, in my experience. I use 60C packs, only because I'm very mean to my lipos, and feel that I get better life out of a 60C...but to be totally honest, a "fresh" 25C would probably be just fine :) Good luck!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I already have my first hobby plane thanks to you !!! I have mounted it today. is beautiful!!! I bought two batteries of 2200 and one of 1000 I'll taste it tomorrow many thanks!!!
Hey Brian! Great vid! What Spectrum receiver would you recommend? I have a DX6 .. you have convinced me that this is the plane i want :-) thanks for all the vids and thank your camera crew also!
If you have a DX6, you will probably want at LEAST a DX8, but if you can stomach the cost, go for the DX9, or if you really want to go all out IX12 OR IX20 ;) If you get the latter, make sure you tell you wife you order the cheap one and they accidentally sent you the expensive one - then you won't have to live in the neighbors dog house ;) Transmitters... iX20 - bit.ly/2Rv1d3M (I would be jealous of your transmitter ;) iX12 - bit.ly/2yOEDN7 (this would be used for years to come) DX9 - bit.ly/3eh3klx (yeah, if you can stomach the additional price) DX8 - bit.ly/2xmsD5f (This one would be the Minimum I would recommend, if you already have a DX6) DX8e - bit.ly/34uxoWn ("e"s is okay, but I don't know that the savings is worth the difference in price) TS8G Plus - bit.ly/39Vxwzy (this would be a good option, if you're really tight on cash, but it's HARD to setup)
I prefer the Conscendo Advanced for a few reasons... It's more solid. It's BNF. It's a GREAT plane. It's got SAFE Select, for those who need SAFE. Now to complicate my answer, but I will now say that I like the Phoenix better because... It's bigger! It's got flaps by default. It's cheaper (but only a super small amount). To answer your question...they are BOTH great planes. Worthy of purchase, but if I had to pick one, it would be the Conscendo, as it is just a great all around plane!
I'm sorry I can't say difference in the weight. I the wing structure is much larger on the Phoenix V2 but weight it very similar. You gotta keep in mind video if from the 2M version, while the 2.6/1.6m Phoenix is the same size as the ASW28, which is 2.6m. Weight is going to be less on the Phoenix 2m for sure.
@@BrianPhillipsRC It just occored to me that if you wanted to do a pure slope soarer with the ASW-28 you could ditch the motor and the pilot and tint the canopy and use a smaller battery and maybe a lighter wheel or omit totally. Also clean up the wing trailing edge and surfaces. Beyond that maybe longer wing tips would benefit. I'm suspicious of those wingletts, ie do they really add lift or just showing off??? It's so fast and heavy, I can't tell.
Mix in Rudder to speed up the roll rate. I don't measure the MM of throw. You CAN over-drive the servos, if I recall...so instead of +/-100%, I think you can setup +/-125% or more...this will help too.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I didn't program a mix, but I tried using both rudder and aileron. It wasn't pretty, but it rolled 360 degrees. I have the servo throws set so the aileron servo arms actually press a little into the foam - about the max available. I moved one hole closer on the aileron and rudder horns to give bigger throws. I'd like to move to a different hole on the servo arms, but I'm afraid there isn't room to drill them out to take the pushrod. Anyway, thanks for the tip! My other planes roll fine without any rudder input. I hadn't thought of that.
What a great video. Just what I was looking for. (Subscribed !!!! ) I was wondering how well this model could make rolls. Now I know I could do some aerobatics. Now I am not sure about this or the 2400 version. I would like to catch some thermals but at the same time, I need some aerobatics as well. (it is too much to ask? lol) What would be your advice?
Haven't you experienced the Volantex Fart??? Here's a Volantex RC Fart...usually brought on by 4S or lots of beans - ua-cam.com/video/bLoM7UlttCg/v-deo.html (This was my FIRST Volantex RC, ASW-28...)
You can setup LVC (Low Voltage Cutoff) but I never recommend that on any plane, of any size. If you want to avoid low voltage, go with one of these things ( amzn.to/2G6jqxy ). If you want to save weight, time the first few flights, and then set a timer on your transmitter (or get telemetry, if you want to drop a wad of cash on it...)
Tough call. Do you want SAFE? If so, get the Conscendo Advanced, otherwise, get the Phoenix. The Phoenix is such a great flying plane too, but they're so dang similar. I feel like you get more plane for the money with the Phoenix V2 BUT, don't forget you'll need an Rx, which isn't fee...so they'll be really close on price. Sorry, I didn't have a more direct answer, but this one is so super subjective..I'm gonna give you my REAL answer - Is it too much to ask for BOTH ;) Have a Happy New Year!
Brian Phillips thanks a million Brian for your honest reply, will have a wee think about it and decide soon, have some fantastic hills around me and I’m dying to get out on them, happy new year to you and your family 👌☘️✈️
Great video! I just bought that glider , having trouble setting the flaps i have a dx6 and in zero position the flaps go full up setting 1 flaps are in neutral position and in position 2 I have full down flaps. How do I set it so zero is neutral position then 1 is take off flaps then setting 2 would be landing flaps? Thanks
Have you watched through the video series? I review this in some depth, but might have shown it on the ASW28 (very similar setup). I believe I was using a DX18, so it's similar, but not exactly the same as your DX6. BTW, is your transmitter Gen2?
OMG It's Alive & Actually Flies!!! Just A Little Bit Wonky!? LMAO 😂 Oops Stick Your Hand Up & Pull Back A Bloody Knub... 😂 Hey Brian, Next Flight Let's Switch It Up A Knotch!? Give Megan The Radio & You Run The Camera!? 😋 Ooow Ooow She Could Wear A Tight Fitting College Prep School Pleated Skirt Uniform & You Can Be The Flight Instructor!? Hey It Might Get Y'ALLs A Million Views!? Thanks 😂😂😂
google translation ,hello is that the receiver is compatible with the DX9 if yes is that all the volantex airplane are compatible thank you (a new subscriber)
@@BrianPhillipsRC google translation thank you for having answered, congratulations for your video I do not understand English well but you make a very good visual on the details which really helps
@@BrianPhillipsRC but check the curve on graf in the radio again. the curve travels toward the center line when you give it expo + But you are right :) Citat: Spektrum radio, a positive exponential value will soften the controls while a negative exponetial will make it more sensitive. This is the exact opposite of Futaba and other radios but also joystick for PC’s with them, negative expo softens the controls near center. the graph in Spectrum radio is totally illogical
I have tried a few times, mostly so I can show how SAFE works when I let go of the sticks... BUT some day ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Я пробовал несколько раз, в основном, чтобы я мог показать, как БЕЗОПАСНО работает, когда я отпускаю палки ... НО когда-нибудь;)
I'm a beginner and I've been training on my Apprentice s15e and want to get a powered glider is this a good glider to start and grow with? My other choices were the Conscendo Advanced and Night Radian?
I LOVE this plane, BUT you might find the Conscendo Advanced to be a better plane for your next step. Just my opinion, BUT that being said, the Phoenix V2 is AWESOME too. You might even like it better since it's a little bit bigger, but the Concesndo Advances is BETTER....
Like I mentioned, this plane is good, but the Conscendo Advanced is more "complete"...it's more "refined"...but the Phoenix is going to take more effort to get flying good. It's not going to be BAD in any way, it's more that the Conscendo is just better. You will honestly love either. They are BOTH good, but as a beginner, the more refined choice will help you have MORE success....but like I said before, it's totally subjective. If you like the Phoenix V2 better, you should get it first...I have both, well, technically I have the Phoenix Evo 2.6m, Phoenix V2 2.0m, ASW 28 2.6m, ASW 28 2.0m, Conscendo S (the older one with FULL SAFE, not just SAFE Select), and a bunch more sail planes...ASH 26 2.6m, ASK 21 UMX, Sunbird 1.6m, Bird of Time 117", EZIO 1.5m, KA-8 2.25m, Moa 1.5m, Arcus M 2.25m, and that's just the sail planes I can remember ;) My advice is good, but it's sometimes best for everyone to arrive at their own decisions. Good luck!
I don't think they were "Designed to thermal" since they're pretty heavy for a thermal ship, HOWEVER, they are fun and one could definitely thermal with the correct setup. I'm not a huge fan of thermalling, for the same reason I'm not a fisherman...LOL
Camera crew...excellent work. Overall presentation and flight, just first class...! Thank you both, and may you keep going with a wonderful relationship...we need more people like you, to show the world, there are good humans out there !
Thanks Paul! We're glad you're here with us, and appreciate your kind words!
My first 2M sailplane was a hobby king Phionex some 10 years ago. Got a new one just waiting to get my wings back. I love gliders! Cant wait to get it in the air! You 2 rock!
Gliders are so relaxing to fly..very hard to crash compared to other planes in my hanger...best type of plane for beginners also...
yes, they are so much fun!
OMG Brian - this is a great learning tool for beginner to intermediate guys like me! This is such an informative video w.r.t. time run & explanation, I think you made a sale. Volantex RC ... you owe Brian and crew sales commission! Many thx!
Thanks Leo ;)
Brilliant!! I just got one of these, and after seeing this vid,.. maaan I can’t wait to get it in the air!!
Really nice fly’n too man. Rolls on in, smooth as silk, and snatch it out the air 😄, a most impressive landing 😉👍🏼
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Awesome flying skills. Also I must admit those camera skills are also on point!
Thanks Simon! My wife, Megan, is the "camera crew" ;) I'm so lucky to have her in my corner!
Hey Brian!!
Thanks for the phoenix vids. You inspired me to get one and post a few vids. I started flying RC in November and can't stop. I can't explain how flying makes me feel! I just hope to get a little south of where I live (coastal Oregon), so I can learn to fly some much faster slopes. Most of the beaches close to me don't have much to give in lift so once in awhile I have to use some motor.....but who cares! I'm having fun and getting some really good shots of the areas I fly.
I didn't go full house on my setup, but man.....its still nice to fly.
Thanks again Brian!!! (and camera person)!!!!!! :)
AWESOME!!! I get what you're saying - flying is a strangely fulfilling experience. It takes 100% of your focus, especially when you're new. It's a hard fought skill that can't be bought. It's rewarding, and NOT easy! When you get it, you have a skill that few have, and most don't understand!
Keep at it and you'll be expert enough to fly just about anything!!!
4 years on. Good video. Nice aircraft. Exceptional flying skill. Cheers.
I do enjoy your vids, fun with practical knowledge thrown in for good measure. You flew that bird so well. The V2 seems to be the best Phoenix produced yet. Excellent performance from all parties involved in this vid. Well done.
Thank you PJ! We were very happy with this plane, and hope that you'll consider it. Totally agree Volantex is making a pretty high quality plane these days! I only wish they'd replace the elevator and rudder servos with Emax Metal Gear 12g servos (same size as a 9g plastic gear servo...and very powerful!!!). Maybe I need to make that mod at some point, as it'd be super easy to do...
I have one of these NIB and have wanted to get out for literally years, thanks for your videos, love the channel, just ordered an eachine t28 too 👍
Nice! Glad we could help encourage it out of the box ;)
Good luck Bear!
What a nice landing when you came in to set the brake.
Thanks! I cna't believe how well she flies - this was the maiden (Well technically, maiden flights)
What a beautiful plane Brian! - And nice flying. After watching a couple of videos (yours and Andrew Newton's) I ordered one of these - couldn't resist.
I'm glad you did! I love watching Andrew Newton's and Allen More's stuff too! They both do a GREAT job.
When you get it I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. Good luck, and thanks for watching!
Same haha ☺️ Brian + Andrew Newton , and purchased the v2 2000
ohhhhh my gosh, he's using an orange receiver. Kamikaze flight , sooner or later. LoL. love your vids Brian. keep up the good work, course
your camera crew is terrific.i think she needs a raise.
LOL! I can't remember using an Orange Rx in this?!?!? (I'll take your word for it)
Love your vids mate...i use your tx settings on all my planes...you explain things very clearly, great for a total newbie/novice like me! I bought a V2 about a week ago and absolutely love it!! Cheers for another great test vid.
Excellent! I'm so glad to hear you're getting some good from my videos! I do put a lot of effort into them, so it's nice to hear some positive feedback like this. Thanks!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes mate, i can tell...they're always very informative AND interesting! BTW...i love your discreet little innuendos!! lol.
This Phoenix V2 Looks like a great flying Glider Brian! Thanks for sharing Sir!
It's my pleasure Chris! Gotta see some airliners take to the sky soon!!! I keep seeing them on Instagram, and they're looking great!
One of the 6 new birds will be maidening soon Sir, just gotta be respectful to the RC-Gods!
LOL - You are more patient than I ;)
Thanks for the safety tip. I'm new to this and it's good to know.
I have to say, you are a very skilled model flyer!! Impressed!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for expo information. I really enjoy videos.
You're welcome Rick! I hope it helps you out, but just keep in mind, it's very subjective!
nice review, I flew this plane down in Florida at the 44th Tangerine Soaring Meet, basic setup with 3 position flaps and a vario, there was 72 sailplanes in the electric class, I finished second, i was competing against some beautiful 3 and 4 meter full carbon sailplanes that cost $2,000 to $ 4,000, so foam beats out carbon at the biggest soaring contest in Florida.
I bet they were pissed!!! It is a great plane for the money, and it's not bad stock!!!
I still thing for longevity sake, replacing the elevator and rudder servos with Emax 12g Metal Gear Servos, would be a super easy, relatively inexpensive upgrade. Did you add anything to yours, or just stock?
@@BrianPhillipsRC bare bone stock
WOW - very cool!
I thought you might have said, "Allen from Newbie RC told me the plane would fly this good without a stabilizer. His channel is so cool make sure you subscribe" ha ha. My phoenix 2000 set up was super basic but very effective. Flaps either hard on or off. I would fly or weave in fast and low then slam on the brakes, and hand catch. Technique works well in confined or non existent landing areas or in ground turbulence
LOL! I love the way this thing handles...can't wait to get her out at our slope!!!
We don’t hand catch over here, as our right hands are required for elevator because of our transmitter set up.
I just ordered one of these, now I can't wait to get my hands on it unfortunately Banggood said I won't have it until
August.😪
NOOOOOO!
I need, AND, use an elevator. Just floating around and catching thermals can get a bit boring when there other fun things to do with one's glider. You know what I mean Brian. It shows in your crazy man flying. Power to you .....
Thanks :)
Brian Phillips for President!
LOL - I guess I will be written in for 2020?!??!
Brian Phillips I’m not It trolling you!! Just joking around. Love your content. Hope you get into that new house soon. I do know the wait can be excruciatingly long. Once the roof, windows and siding are on...the finish work takes the longest.
Thanks - excruciating is the exact work for this experience. It's hard to explain to someone who hasn't built a house, because they just think you're ungrateful...but you evidently know better ;)
Brian Phillips I know exactly what you mean. My wife and I have built 2 houses during our marriage. Each time we’re totally new experiences. When you spend your own hard earned cash you want it done right. Sadly, there are a lot of contractors who prey on customers who are push overs. Too bad the industry doesn’t have more Mike Holmes contractors.
TWO houses...you must be gluttons for punishment - LOL ;)
My wife's dad was a builder for the better part of her life, so she's been around it for her whole life, and as a kid, my parents built two houses, one of which my Dad had to rebuild after it was hit by a tornado. Also, my Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, and Cousins have been building houses from when we were very young too. We used to get together to pour concrete (mostly just flat work), and install trusses together. The deal went something like this...if you can help, you better help, since you might be the benefactor on the "next" build. We did this maybe 10 times throughout my childhood. I actually fell into a stack of trusses and landed, cutting the pad of my thumb really bad, which was awesome as it got me out of framing our house (the one that got hit by a tornado) for that summer.
We're fortunate to have lots of background, but even still, it's hard to get people to show up as the economy is booming (in spite of what the fed chairman has been trying to undermine for his whole term!!!)
Great project part 3 👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆🏆😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉Hello Brian
Thanks Master Steel!!!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Thanks Brian, another Fantastic video , looks like the Phoenix V2 is on the Santa list 😀
You will love it!
nice plane , nice fly!
Thanks Ava! Glad you watched!!! Welcome
Hi Brian. Great build and fly series, although I was out of my old RC element when it came to setting up the radio. Most of the buy links for the Tx go to discontinued models. Here's what most of us need: A buy list with links to a minimum and middle price range. The DX-16 is/was over $600. Would something around $200 to $250 work, and which brand? Your buy site for the plane isn't a dedicated hobby site. Tower doesn't have the Phoenix. Hobbyking is backordered on the the plane today.
So TX, receiver, which batteries (probably need more than one for the field), other electronics as options, the charger is almost the price of the plane, balance tips, on board battery readout, stabilizer (not sure how they work). I'm only used to highstart launches; these motorized gliders are new to me.
With the DX16 this gets over $1,000. A good target for everything is around $600 if possible. Anyhow, check your buy links to see which ones are still good. It would be great to give you all the affiliate commissions. ART
Update: Hobbyking has it in stock at $139.33. They are showing it as a 759-3 vs. 759-2. Length 1283mm vs. 1132 on Banggood, although the weight is the same. PNF vs. PNP. I think they are the same thing except PNP is trademarked. Are you / can you be an affiliate for Hobbyking?
I have so many videos, it's very challenging to keep all the links up to date. I spend almost 3 evening just updating 90 videos.
Here's my basic links. Everyone has a different price point, so this is the challenge. I usually share the link to the item reviewed right at the top, then I have a bunch of other items lower for people to choose from.
I've also added links to SITES, so that if you don't see it, you can navigate to the whole web site, then just make your choice. Every little bit helps, and at this point of my life, I refuse to make a Patron account...even though some have suggested I do....I just don't feel right begging for money...I DON'T feel bad at all asking companies benefiting from my marketing to share about 1-3% on sales. I feel this is fair, and it keeps me honest...I don't care what people pick, but I want to be know for being honest, even if I stand to gain a few buck a month from purchases from a particular vendor. I really do like Horizon Hobby, and they are great, but they aren't perfect. I liked Hobbyking much more when I was first getting into this hobby as I was spending less, and nobody was sending me gear to use...which they are now, at such a pace that I can hardly keep up. This was what I asked for, and I'm loving it...and hating it at the same time. I'm struggling to get from working, and then doing this on the side to ...doing this, and then not working ;)
Either way....here's my "generic" links... I have other lists too for some of my most popular, and more in depth reviews....like the Airbus A330-600 (30Million+ Views) This is marketing for my channel, and it's one of my worst videos - super annoying, BTW!!!

Should 've got an invoice from Brian for that , but then I'd have to chip for your bill😂
Hi Megan,
Awesome job with the camera. I hope Brian taught you how to fly. Don't let him have all the fun. :-)
LOL - She doesn't want to fly ;) ...I'll make sure she gets the message. Thanks!
You have me tempted to buy this 😎🤙
You should! I haven't touched the Phoenix for ever, but it's a great plane!
Phoenix Evo 1.6/2.6m amzn.to/3nX4okg
Hey Brian!!
This model really flies fast on a 3S 2200. I was a little surprised. I didn't go full house, just the 5 channel setup. (I've been flying since November 2020)
have you tried on a 4S battery? Did you stay with the expo setup?
I set up my dual rates and expo as per your instruction and it flies pretty good.
The crappiest servo was on my rudder. It actually stripped in flight. I was able to land it by countering with ailerons and a LOT of luck! Another pilot was out and saw it happen and gave me a metal gear servo as a replacement. No issues since then.
Thanks for showing us this model and how you got it set up.
GO FLY!!! 🛩🛸✈
I used a 4S on the stock configuration of the ASW28 (Same motor and ESC combo if I understand right) and with my ASW28, the motor would "Fart"...when the timing gets out of whack. Pretty tough when you wait till the last second and give throttle, and nothing happens! Especially when you're WAY out and you can't hear it NOT working - very bad issue to have.... I found 3S totally fine on this plane, so that's what I always used.
Thanks a lot Brian. 👍
Very good video series on the Volantex Phoenix 2000 V2.
I am French and unfortunately I do not understand everything about the settings radio control because there are no subtitles available. 😪
Thanks a lot and see you

Thanks Phil Delm! I hope we can help, but it's been so long since we set this one up. We will be doing TWO new sail planes in the next few weeks, if you want to check them out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Merci Phil Delm! J'espère que nous pouvons vous aider, mais cela fait si longtemps que nous n'avons pas créé celui-ci. Nous allons faire DEUX nouveaux avions à voile dans les prochaines semaines, si vous voulez les vérifier.
@@BrianPhillipsRC 👍🙏👍
Yeah Brian , this Phoenix V2 is pretty cool and I am going to purchase this. However have to wait till next pay check !! Just bought the Slow Poke last nite from HK on their flash sale. I'm trying to get into all my low wings that are just collecting dust ☹️ maybe one day I'll work my way into all the airliners. ( sorry ) I sidetrack easily.. LOL.. This glider is the next bird on the front porch !!! Definitely
You think YOU sidetrack easily - have you seen my hangar!??!?! LOL
This is a great plane, and it is a worthy buy :)
Brian Phillips LOL ‼️‼️‼️‼️👍🏻
Nice flying 👍I am going to have to get this plane I haven't seen a bad review yet.
It's a GREAT plane! You'll love it!

Thanks :)
Great videos to watch. You spurred me on to buy my 1st glider, the Phoenix Evolution 1.6/2.6m. I have to say.... You sound and look quite like Jack Black, no insult intended!!!
We fly from a beach in the UK so I'll hopefully learn to slope this thing in the future.
I'll look through your videos for tips on setting up my radio now. Keep up the good work.
Cheers... Steve (North East FPV)
Brian , just want to thanks you for this serie of build and set for this beauty, I've just bought it and soon I'll be in the build process so all those vid gone help me a lot. Also , that makes a loooong time that I watch yours vids and you're such a great personn. Salute to your wife who is a very good camgirl an also a RC specialist now . Salute to all our RC pilot's wives who are very comprehensive and forgiving for this hobby that takes so much place. (as some others for me just check my vids :-D )
Glad you're enjoying the videos! Excited for you, this plane is great!
Ive tried like 20 times to set the brake, no luck! Ok I calibrated the throttle and then it worked!
That's super annoying!!! I got it on the second try, but only because I missed the first chirps...
@@BrianPhillipsRC nice plane overall, taking it out tomorrow will be in the low 70s
LOW 70's?!?! We're in the near zeros!!!!!!!!
How many milimiters is your take off and landing flaps of your phoenix? Also please include your throws for the aileron elevator and rudder at 100% rate.. thank you
Maestro. 👍👏👏👏👏
good time! what kind of battery was used here? lipo 3s 2200ma ?
Hello Brian. I always look forward to your videos. You both do a great job. If you don't mind reaching back into your past, I have a question. I have the Volantex Phoenix V2 that was never built and needs a receiver. I've recently returned to RC flying and my muscle memory isn't tuned in yet. If you were to install a Spektrum safe receiver, what would you recommend? Thank you!!!
AR630 bit.ly/3zpdgVR OR AR631 bit.ly/3v0w3Fy - just external antenna is the difference here, but both have "fly By" Telemetry.
AR637T bit.ly/3OlgIpB - Add VARIO, a great tool for sail planes, and more full range telemetry
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian!!! -- Bob
Nice fly, nice glider.
Maybe you would try next HK Excalibur (now on Flash Deal PNP for $145 in EU and UK warehouse, I am not sure about US )
I like the Excalibur, but not 100% sure what's next...well, that's what I'm sticking with.... (I actually have it on my door step right now....and it will be flying ASAP!!!)
Can you please explain what does the satellite add in terms of functionality? Can it act as a vario?
No, won't act as a vario...it's basically a REDUNDANT receiver. It's more for planes that have carbon fiber blockages to avoid radio interference / disconnections, and this sort of thing.
If you want VARIO, we have that now, all day long in our more current Rx offerings. I'd suggest the AR637T or AR8263T if you want AS3X (Stabilization) and/or SAFE (Auto-Leveling) - Here's a link to another video where we set it up, but just imagine it were in this Phoenix, if you wish. Links to Rx'es below too...

Hello Brian and Cam Crew. I have a FMS ASW-17. Great glider. I should want to add a little sail plane in my team, Quick to put in the car and to take off on the field. What could you say about general quality of this Phoenix 2m? Is it a nice glider with low price compare to a Multiplex Easyglider or Solius ? Low stall risk? Huges system with clips ? Thks.
Excellent my brother. Enjoyed it
Great! She was a joy to fly!
Amazing
It is a GREAT plane. If you don't have it, it's a winner!!!
Awesome Brian, skills at the sticks and lots of great filming from Mrs Megan, that plane looks great. How do you think it compares to the asw-28? I was just curious about what you thought. Thanks for your video keep flying you guys. Have a great day. Stay warm. Until next time thanks again from Tennessee.
This one is better, as is the 2.6/1.6m variation... This one is actually a lot better, in fact! It's cheaper, far easier to assemble, and better flying in almost all aspects...HOWEVER...this is not a SCALE plane, and as I've mentioned before and I'll stick to my guns on this - Scale planes are serving a different purpose, looking AWESOME ;) Which the ASW-28 does splendidly.
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Sergio Benton Instablaster =)
@Raphael Simon Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Raphael Simon it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
Hello Brian, is throttle calibration needed on this esc, and is it done like on the most esc’s? Greetings Theo
I have only needed it a couple time in my RC career. It is just kinda hit or miss on some of these planes.
As far as if it's like "normal" there isn't really a "normal" but when I've done it, it's super simple...
Turn on TX
Full Throttle
Plug in plane (use caution so you don't get cut)
Wait for songs form ESC (through the motor)
Then Throttle to 0%
Done
Fly and enjoy ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you Brian, i'll give it a try.
Красавчик!!!
Thanks :)
Brian... Which would you go for...? The 2m the 2.4m or the asw28?
I really likes the 2.6m for the size, but the 2m was a great plane, and better over all package.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I know you really liked the asw28 for looks and noise but you think the phoenix are far better to fly?
Hi Brian, is breaking when the prop stops turning completely? Can you pl tell me what is breaking and when you would need it. Also, “crow”. What is crow? Thanks
ESC Braking is when the ESC actively STOPS (or resists) the rotation of the motor when the signal is below a certain threshold, usually at or near zero throttle, which is how the folding prop folds back. Without braking, the prop will "tractor", or spin free. The centripetal force will keep the prop OUT, and there will be a tremendous amount of drag, without the offsetting thrust from a powered prop.
As for "CROW" AKA "CROW Breaking" AKA "BUTTERFLY"... this is when you have the inboard flaps down, and the outboard ailerons both up, while still functioning as ailerons (also know as SPOILERONS ...Spoiler + Aileron). This forces the outboard portion of the wing to bleed off much of the lift being produced, while creating lots of drag on the inboard portion of the wings, all while allowing the pitch of the plane to remain in a nose down attitude, without gaining speed. This slows down the plane, almost to a stop, but lowers the stall speed dramatically, and keeps the plane docile because the ailerons are still relatively effective at a very low airspeed.
The breaking is a MUST on a sail plane, as they aren't designed to fly under power, but rather to be carried to altitude and then sailing back to ground, or thermaling, or sloping.
As for CROW, this helps to get a plane slowed down FAST! It DOES work, and it makes a HUGE difference.
You need to try BOTH, if you're not already using these features ;)
Thanks for that explanation. Crow is good on all planes? or just sail planes? I assume you can't use a y-harness for the ail? Separate chan? Do you have a video on the set up. And a vid on breaking thanks
It's especially good on sail planes that have ONE wheel :) OR any plane you might want to catch, or land in a very tight spot.
You need Three channels for this wing....ONE channel for both flaps, ONE channel for the LEFT Aileron, and ONE channel for the RIGHT Aileron. You can not have crow with any less than three channels.
Yes, I setup the CROW in the RADIO SETUP video, here's the whole playlist (in the description)...

do you think this i can put a 4s 22 mah lipo in this? will it burn any electronics? balancing shouldnt be a huge concern but do you think it might need weights in the back if i choose to use it, i just bought this plane.
It will run the motor, and the ESC and Motor are supposedly rated for 4S, BUT the motor will FART...and you will go to give her throttle, and the motor will NOT spin up (but instead - "fart")...then you'll be able to get it to start only after throttling down to 0%, then back up...
I've experienced this with my ASW28, with the same stock ESC/Motor Combo, and I lost the plane because of it ;( That being understood, I was a lot less experienced pilot at the time.
Brian.... Sunbird OR Phonenix 2000?... which one buddy do we go for?? and why?
Love your work!!!
Sunbird is a balsa kit, and the Phoenix is a PNF. If you don't mind the build, the Sunbird is very cool!!! BUT the Phoenix will be way faster into the air...BUT, I'd encourage you to get THIS instead...

“Is that a first world problem?” I was having a crap day and I heard that and you made me smile.
I'm glad I could help cheer you up, Matthew!
Great job with the build and the maiden flight!
Will the wings from the Phoenix V3 (2400mm) or the 1600mm/2600mm wings from the Evolution work? Would be nice to get all 3 set sizes in one. ;)
I'm not sure, but I might be reviewing the 2.4m V2 as well ;)
Hi Sasha, I think you are confused. The 2.4 m is the version two, or the most recent version, the Phoenix evolution with the 1.6/2.6 m wing is the version one, and I am 99.99% sure they won’t swap over as the wing mounting hardware and design are completely different.
Sascha Chloriana also, the version two is available in the 1.6 m, 2.0 m, and 2.4 m wingspan
Just getting back in hobby after a 35 year hiatus. Videos are great. I don't understand when you say "expo". Can you explain?
"Expo" is Exponential output. It's a way to make the sticks less responsive in the middle (softer) and fully responsive toward the outside of the sticks.
It's hard to explain, but it helps make a plane feel more "flyable" and easy to control.
Here's a video about Expo, that I did a while back. - ua-cam.com/video/u5DnWEyAKDY/v-deo.html
Best landing
Thanks! This plane makes me look good :) It's a great flying specimen, you may want to get one ;)
Then a 2200 battery is not too heavy to glide?
I probably will buy this plane and i dont know what to take If a 1500mah 25c or 2200 25c.
Love all yours videos of the plane :)
You could do a 1500mAh or a 2200mAh, but I'd go for the smaller one, if you're trying to thermal. I don't have patience to do a lot of thermaling, but this plane does very well on 2200mAh 3S 60C packs, in my experience. I use 60C packs, only because I'm very mean to my lipos, and feel that I get better life out of a 60C...but to be totally honest, a "fresh" 25C would probably be just fine :)
Good luck!!!

Hey Brian! Great vid! What Spectrum receiver would you recommend? I have a DX6 .. you have convinced me that this is the plane i want :-) thanks for all the vids and thank your camera crew also!
If you have a DX6, you will probably want at LEAST a DX8, but if you can stomach the cost, go for the DX9, or if you really want to go all out IX12 OR IX20 ;) If you get the latter, make sure you tell you wife you order the cheap one and they accidentally sent you the expensive one - then you won't have to live in the neighbors dog house ;)
Transmitters...
iX20 - bit.ly/2Rv1d3M (I would be jealous of your transmitter ;)
iX12 - bit.ly/2yOEDN7 (this would be used for years to come)
DX9 - bit.ly/3eh3klx (yeah, if you can stomach the additional price)
DX8 - bit.ly/2xmsD5f (This one would be the Minimum I would recommend, if you already have a DX6)
DX8e - bit.ly/34uxoWn ("e"s is okay, but I don't know that the savings is worth the difference in price)
TS8G Plus - bit.ly/39Vxwzy (this would be a good option, if you're really tight on cash, but it's HARD to setup)
Hi! Nice flight! Motor - 4023 850 kv ?
Do you prefer the conscendo advanced or the phoenix and why? :)
I prefer the Conscendo Advanced for a few reasons... It's more solid. It's BNF. It's a GREAT plane. It's got SAFE Select, for those who need SAFE.
Now to complicate my answer, but I will now say that I like the Phoenix better because... It's bigger! It's got flaps by default. It's cheaper (but only a super small amount).
To answer your question...they are BOTH great planes. Worthy of purchase, but if I had to pick one, it would be the Conscendo, as it is just a great all around plane!
I got a volantex 2000 v2 . What stabilizer do you use? Thank you great videos!
I'm still using Lemon-Rx 7 Channel Rx with Stabilizer. Cheap and effective - here's a link ;)

How much less than the ASW-28 does it weigh? It looks like a real floater and ASW more like a Mustang!!!
I'm sorry I can't say difference in the weight. I the wing structure is much larger on the Phoenix V2 but weight it very similar. You gotta keep in mind video if from the 2M version, while the 2.6/1.6m Phoenix is the same size as the ASW28, which is 2.6m. Weight is going to be less on the Phoenix 2m for sure.
@@BrianPhillipsRC It just occored to me that if you wanted to do a pure slope soarer with the ASW-28 you could ditch the motor and the pilot and tint the canopy and use a smaller battery and maybe a lighter wheel or omit totally. Also clean up the wing
trailing edge and surfaces. Beyond that maybe longer wing tips would benefit. I'm suspicious of those wingletts, ie do they really add lift or just showing off??? It's so fast and heavy, I can't tell.
Yes, you can. A pure glider would make either plane much lighter.
How many mm up and mm down do your ailerons travel? Mine is very reluctant and slow to roll.
Mix in Rudder to speed up the roll rate. I don't measure the MM of throw. You CAN over-drive the servos, if I recall...so instead of +/-100%, I think you can setup +/-125% or more...this will help too.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I didn't program a mix, but I tried using both rudder and aileron. It wasn't pretty, but it rolled 360 degrees. I have the servo throws set so the aileron servo arms actually press a little into the foam - about the max available. I moved one hole closer on the aileron and rudder horns to give bigger throws. I'd like to move to a different hole on the servo arms, but I'm afraid there isn't room to drill them out to take the pushrod. Anyway, thanks for the tip! My other planes roll fine without any rudder input. I hadn't thought of that.
What a great video. Just what I was looking for. (Subscribed !!!! ) I was wondering how well this model could make rolls. Now I know I could do some aerobatics. Now I am not sure about this or the 2400 version. I would like to catch some thermals but at the same time, I need some aerobatics as well. (it is too much to ask? lol) What would be your advice?
You can do BOTH with the Phoenix 2.4 or the 2M, or the 1.6/2.6m (both in the same package).
Good luck Arnoldo. Great plane!
Mb 2 m if you want to do a number of rolls
"Volantex motor fart"? :) I do hope you get to review the new Volantex 759-3 Phoenix 2400.
Haven't you experienced the Volantex Fart???
Here's a Volantex RC Fart...usually brought on by 4S or lots of beans - ua-cam.com/video/bLoM7UlttCg/v-deo.html
(This was my FIRST Volantex RC, ASW-28...)
I will put it on my list :)
Hey I just bought this plane and wanted to know if there is any low voltage alarm with the esc when the battery is low. Thx!
You can setup LVC (Low Voltage Cutoff) but I never recommend that on any plane, of any size. If you want to avoid low voltage, go with one of these things ( amzn.to/2G6jqxy ). If you want to save weight, time the first few flights, and then set a timer on your transmitter (or get telemetry, if you want to drop a wad of cash on it...)
Hi Brian happy Christmas 🎄, I’m Looking at either an eflite conscendo or Phoenix v2 in your opinion what would you recommend please and thanks ☘️👌
Tough call. Do you want SAFE? If so, get the Conscendo Advanced, otherwise, get the Phoenix. The Phoenix is such a great flying plane too, but they're so dang similar. I feel like you get more plane for the money with the Phoenix V2 BUT, don't forget you'll need an Rx, which isn't fee...so they'll be really close on price.
Sorry, I didn't have a more direct answer, but this one is so super subjective..I'm gonna give you my REAL answer - Is it too much to ask for BOTH ;)
Have a Happy New Year!
Brian Phillips thanks a million Brian for your honest reply, will have a wee think about it and decide soon, have some fantastic hills around me and I’m dying to get out on them, happy new year to you and your family 👌☘️✈️
Brian Phillips hi just wondering is this the same as the Phoenix evolution, do you know please and thanks
Great video! I just bought that glider , having trouble setting the flaps i have a dx6 and in zero position the flaps go full up setting 1 flaps are in neutral position and in position 2 I have full down flaps. How do I set it so zero is neutral position then 1 is take off flaps then setting 2 would be landing flaps? Thanks
Have you watched through the video series? I review this in some depth, but might have shown it on the ASW28 (very similar setup).
I believe I was using a DX18, so it's similar, but not exactly the same as your DX6.
BTW, is your transmitter Gen2?
Brian Phillips yes it is a Gen2 thanks I’ll have to watch your video
OMG It's Alive & Actually Flies!!! Just A Little Bit Wonky!? LMAO 😂

google translation ,hello is that the receiver is compatible with the DX9 if yes is that all the volantex airplane are compatible thank you (a new subscriber)
The way I set it up, it's DSMX...so YES, it will work with DX9 (which is DSMX/DSM2).
Good luck Martin!
@@BrianPhillipsRC google translation thank you for having answered, congratulations for your video I do not understand English well but you make a very good visual on the details which really helps
Why do u give EXPO + and not minus EXPO that make it smoother around the center of the stick ?
When you use EXPO on Spektrum gear, + expo is soft in the center. You must be used to a competitive brand?
@@BrianPhillipsRC but check the curve on graf in the radio again. the curve travels toward the center line when you give it expo +
But you are right :)
Citat: Spektrum radio, a positive exponential value will soften the controls while a negative exponetial will make it more sensitive. This is the exact opposite of Futaba and other radios but also joystick for PC’s with them, negative expo softens the controls near center. the graph in Spectrum radio is totally illogical
CAN it thermal?
Probably :) Might want to take out the wheel, if you were serious about thermaling..
...хотелось бы видеть как вы работаете стиками во время пилотирования., было бы поучительно!..
I have tried a few times, mostly so I can show how SAFE works when I let go of the sticks... BUT some day ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Я пробовал несколько раз, в основном, чтобы я мог показать, как БЕЗОПАСНО работает, когда я отпускаю палки ... НО когда-нибудь;)
What a beaut
for sure!
I'm a beginner and I've been training on my Apprentice s15e and want to get a powered glider is this a good glider to start and grow with? My other choices were the Conscendo Advanced and Night Radian?
I LOVE this plane, BUT you might find the Conscendo Advanced to be a better plane for your next step. Just my opinion, BUT that being said, the Phoenix V2 is AWESOME too. You might even like it better since it's a little bit bigger, but the Concesndo Advances is BETTER....
Lol 🤯I appreciate the response but can u tell me why?
Like I mentioned, this plane is good, but the Conscendo Advanced is more "complete"...it's more "refined"...but the Phoenix is going to take more effort to get flying good. It's not going to be BAD in any way, it's more that the Conscendo is just better.
You will honestly love either. They are BOTH good, but as a beginner, the more refined choice will help you have MORE success....but like I said before, it's totally subjective. If you like the Phoenix V2 better, you should get it first...I have both, well, technically I have the Phoenix Evo 2.6m, Phoenix V2 2.0m, ASW 28 2.6m, ASW 28 2.0m, Conscendo S (the older one with FULL SAFE, not just SAFE Select), and a bunch more sail planes...ASH 26 2.6m, ASK 21 UMX, Sunbird 1.6m, Bird of Time 117", EZIO 1.5m, KA-8 2.25m, Moa 1.5m, Arcus M 2.25m, and that's just the sail planes I can remember ;) My advice is good, but it's sometimes best for everyone to arrive at their own decisions. Good luck!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks man for your patience!
1. X-ray
?
Its a glider, made to thermal, I snapped the wing on mine trying to be a jet jockey..........
I don't think they were "Designed to thermal" since they're pretty heavy for a thermal ship, HOWEVER, they are fun and one could definitely thermal with the correct setup. I'm not a huge fan of thermalling, for the same reason I'm not a fisherman...LOL
i dont get why anyone except complete beginners use expo, everything i fly is on max travel and no expo, linear stick to servo travel is much better
What is expo
