HAN4755, Hangar 9, Phoenix 7 ARF
Don Lowe’s Phoenix-series of airplane designs dominated F.A.I aerobatics
during the 60’s and 70’s.
Their point-and-shoot precision and slippery, swept-wing aerodynamics
completely revolutionised the
precision aerobatic scene. And while all of them still enjoy a sizable
fan base today, the original Phoenix 7
designed in 1965 is considered by many aficionados to be the best of
the bunch.
Everyone can now experience the outstanding aerobatic performance of
the Phoenix 7 in a fraction of the
time it would take to build a kit with this exceptional ARF from Hangar
9.
Built using the original Don Lowe plans and molds, it shares the exact
same dimensions and construction
as a scratch-built Phoenix 7 kit right down to the beautifully painted
fibreglass fuselage and fully-sheeted
wing and horizontal tail plane.
Hangar 9 has even gone so far as to deck it out with the same trim scheme
the Phoenix 7 champion pilot
Mark Radcliff flew in the F3A World Championship competitions from 1975
– 1981.
Add to all this the fact it comes out of the box ready to accept Robart
retracts and any lightweight .60-size
2-stroke engine. The Evolution® .60NX (small case) 2-stroke engine (EVOE0600)
with a tuned pipe is a
particularly good combination and you’ve got a vintage aerobatic model
with a superb heritage that is as
good today as it ever was!.
