    I get my PnP version this Thursday, and you are the reason I bought it.

      That’s awesome man! I think if you can find a big enough 2s battery you won’t cook the motor wires on it

    Have this great plane also, at my second battery people drove by and start talking with me. And before I knew I was flying the plane for 40minutes on a 2s 2200. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

      I almost just did the same thing with mine. The elevator was backwards and I didn't notice until I was doing the final check. Like how did I miss that?! Maiden is Tomorrow.

    Mine arrived without the wing stabilizer bar, fun fact if you're into archery an arrow cut to fit seems to be the ticket. Fit snug and the cg seems to be dead on. Will know more tomorrow after the maiden

    Hello,
    I just bought a PhoenixS in kit, and I just finished to assembly it.
    I bought a RadioMaster Pocket, but the documentation is very poor, and I don’t know how to start with it and to find the receptor of the plane.
    Could you help me to start the radio step by step.
    Thank you for your reply

      @@VoyazopoulosJean-Louis you can run your ELRS RX on sbus and buy a radiolink Byme -A and plug into your plane. It’s a gyro that can be switched on and off via the radio

    Looking at getting this very soon as PNP.
    Am I right in thinking all that is needed is a tx & rx combo + battery?
    If so, what type of battery connection? And will flysky 6channel tx be OK with associated rx?
