Hi all If you cant wait for my mini god phoenix models i am posting the link to the website where i found the card model which i based my rc phoenix on. Its in japanese but if you look on the left hand side you will see several buttons. Pick the fourth one down and if you look through the pictures you will see a god phoenix. Click on it and you will find a printable model with graphical instructions so its reasonably easy to follow and make :) Enjoy. [URL]http://win1999.web.fc2.com/[/URL]

the mini phoenix's will be as detailed as i can make them but the are only foam so there is only so much i can do in smaller scale but hopefully they will look good :) Will get it done in the next few days :) Keep a look out for pics as i do the build. I could probably do it in several different scales :)

Thanks for the welcome back all. The God Phoenix project has hit a major snag but its not the end. I had a slight technical problem which went something like this: "What happens if i wind the engine up to full power with a fully charged battery?, lets find out. Whiiiiirrrrrrrrr, wooooooooosssssshhhhhh, Scrrrreeeeeeeeaaaaaaammmmmm, BANG, smoke. Oh poop!!!!!!" Time for a new engine BUT i have also noticed some major flaws in the design so im gonna do a total rebuild with 3mm depron instead of 6mm. The original is going to take pride of place on my wall. By the way, if anybody wants a small scale phoenix, i can knock those out reasonably quickly and i will only charge for postage and materials. Will get the first one sorted out and post a pic or two so you can decide for yourselves :)

And yes i like star wars :f15:[/quote] Gunny, I dont mean to rain on your parade but Technology can only take you so far. Its the squaddie on the ground who needs to be switched on and thinking. I have read your messages with interest and i really think you need to change your atitude because, from the tone of your language, you appear to want to be "gung ho" and blat away at anything that moves. We Brits really dont need another friendly fire incident and, unless you learn to think clearly and cooly im afraid thats what will happen. Im not being negative buddy, just take some advice from someone who has been there (Iraq, first time round) and make your brain your primary weapon.

Sorry its been so long, been back at work solidly for the past couple of weeks with no days off due to an incident where 3 members of my team got themselves knocked out by a gang of youths. So, we are short staffed and working long shifts right now. The phoenix is all but complete. The engine has been tested and managed to knock over a pile of CD's at a ten foot range :) (not intentional but it proved how much power is coming out of her) Also we have had bad weather for the past few weeks so no chance of a test glide let alone a test flight. All I have left to do is is sort out the centre of gravity, recharge the battery and wait for a nice still day for the maiden flight. Fingers crossed it will still be in one piece after the test flight lol. Will check back soon. Paul
