Fly In My Soup Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Anyone know what this is, looks like it's an old balsa aerobatic plane??? Has escaped, I'm assuming brushless???, I can only just see the other end of the ESC the a small air vent, looks like the planes been built around the esc!! Plane itself is well made an sturdy, in great shape, everything present bar the tx! But what model is it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Where's the third wheel? Can't tell if it's at the rear, or at the front missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Rear skid, no third wheel on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hm.. That makes it harder. It looked similar to a plane that i've seen before, but that had a nose wheel. Only thing i can tell is that i don't think that prop/propnut is original. Could be built to plans, but sadly, with a rear skid i pull a blank. It looked rather similar to a modified Phoenix Tiger 3 on first glance, but doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Was bought from the son if the original builder. The dad of the seller did indeed built it from plans in 1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 I think your not far wrong, seems it is a Phoenix , but which one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Well I say that, but I can see subtle differences, servos are hidden in the wings on mine,, mines obv electric, fuselage looks similar but the wheel design looks exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Yeah, that's what i meant by first glance. I'd say personally, it's a phoenix of sorts, but i couldn't nail it down further. Never owned or built one, a friend of mine had one long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
