Launch Day! |
|
|
|
The original plan was to fly the Phoenix on (1)Pro38 J330, and (4)Pro38 G60's. But that all changed when I could'nt find a fourth Pro38 G case, or get a J330. So, I downsized to two Pro38 G60's and one Aerotech I435T (a 66% 849NS J motor equivalent). The whole day was overcast and rainy, but the rain stopped, and by the afternoon the ceiling lifted enough to start flying. A BIG thanks goes to both Tom Binford and Bob Schoner...they both helped me tremendously in getting the Phoenix off the ground. Thanks guys!! |
