A very interesting walk around at your facilities. Very professional skilled workers doing a great job. Thank you very much for sharing this video. Best regards, RCSA.
And I bet for all that diligence and attention to detail, day in and day out - to bring RC modellers around the world so much fun and joy - they only get paid a pittance!!
The Phoenix Models are excellent. I had the Giles 202 and loved it. That airplane had a spin rate higher than any RC airplane I've ever had and I've had hundreds of them over the years. The fiberglass was excellent and the paint was very nice. I sure wish I could get my hands on another one of those Giles 202's!
Kind of surprising to see them building models for other brands, but when you builds planes in batches it’s no surprise to have surplus production capacity. Seeing a wall full of Dazzlers was a neat surprise. That was a plane I remember seeing in the catalogs when I was younger and only just got one second hand last year. The plane is a lot of fun but the stick on covering leaves a lot to be desired compared to an iron on. It made covering repairs difficult since the two kinds are not easily compatible.
This is a perfect example of one man's hobby and pleasure is another's work. We think building models is a joy.....then do 100 a day haha not so much fun after all specially with quotas to meet.
Phoenix Model is my first rc airplane. I learn rc flying used the 40size high wing trainer, then upgrade to next level with the 40size Scanner low wing trainer. Owned n flew the 40size Space Walker as well. Nice!
You can still build from scratch, if you desire. I have a few I have built. I also have several Phoenix models, the latest being the A-26 Invader. Though it was pre-built with high quality, I still have about $3,500 into it, with engines, telemetry, and radio gear. I could not however, build it any better, than these wonderful factory workers, who do it every day. Also, there is no way that my collection would be over 40 strong, without buying some ARF's. I do wish, they would kit the Piper Comanche again, as mine crashed on it's third flight, due to radio failure, and not the model. It flew like a dream! Only next time, actually give it some wheel wells for retracts, as the Comanche was never built with fixed gear! The laminar flow wing, was a delight! My telemetry showed it passing 135 mph on it's way down to bury the engine under ground!
Very interesting insight into the model building process. These ladies certainly appear to be expert builders! I'd be interested in knowing how they build the different models and how many they produce in a week. Do they build the same model over a stretch of time and then move on to a different one, so on and so on?
Amazing video! It's nice to be able to see where all those beautiful models come from. Phoenix models are all high quality, good flying machines judging from the one's at our model field. Thanks for sharing an informative video!
Yes don't go out of business. We enjoy the fruits of your labor building something you'll never get to enjoy because you're too busy slaving for a communist government.
Just was on TOWER HOBBIES and they only have a few Phoenix Models in stock now. How come??? Also I'd like to see a NEW factory video from Phoenix Models PLEASE!!!
Cool video, thanks for sharing. I'm building my first Phoenix Models plane right now, a Super Decathlon mk.2 .46. I've built high end arfs from many of the top brands and have to say that the over-all quality of this airframe is very good, and comparable to the more expensive brands where it really counts. It is definitely a great value over-all. All of the major components are well built and nicely finished. I must say though, that most of the included hardware is junk. I would not trust it for my model, so I am replacing all of it. I would like to see either the hardware completely removed from the kit and a lower price, or much better hardware and a reasonably higher price. I highly recommend this plane, but would say plan on spending an extra $30-40 to put some high quality hardware on it. It is also a very solid base for modifying. I put a Saito FA-100 AAC in mine, mounted inverted, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the engine and exhaust (with a 90deg. elbow on the exhaust) fits inside the cowl and built-in exhaust tunnel with no cutting required, and the already generous cooling vents should be more than sufficient. I mounted a mini servo on the firewall for throttle control, and mounted the elevator and rudder servos in the tail, one for each, and connected the elevators with piano wire. That's basically where I'm at now, only things left to do are final install of the receiver, battery, fuel tank, cabin door, black trim and other cosmetic finishing touches. Wish me luck on the maiden! I will probably need it since I haven't flown in a couple years!
Year 2250 Grandpa: I remember back in my day the CNC machine would take 2 hours to cut those parts and we had to sand them smooth once it had finished . No high tech replicators in my day and we had to Uber to school in the snow up hill both ways.
I produced R/C, C/L and FF models in the 90's under the name 'Phoenix Models' based in Leicestershire. I am glad I didn't invest any more time or money into it than I did as I could never have competed with this kind of production. Its all about cheque book modelling these days and not the aeromodelling I am used to, each to his own!
Was not possible to get an assembled plane when i was a boy...we have become soooooo lazy. Most of the fun was making the plane before you went out and crashed it due to no flight simulator being available.😡
Very interesting, these young people seems so skillful and fast in assembling components of the model. I've been flying model airplanes for five years now and I like the quality of Phoenix models. I wish I could assemble my ARF's as fast as these young people do.
Phoenix makes some fantastic airplanes that are not only very nicely built, they look great and fly fantastic ! I have four of there planes and I have been very impressed with the quality , excellent craftsmanship, excellent fiberglass parts with perfect paint, covering always looks great, hardware that I can actually use vs. Replacing it. At one Sky RC we can confidently recomend Phoenix models to our students and RC pilots wanting top quality without the out of reach price tag !
One Sky R/C Do you own or know someone that does have the 94" Stuka that they produce ? I'm considering purchasing one and thought I'd get some feedback . Looks like a good quality for the $ . Want to put a kolm 4stroke in it ; )
Build a Great Planes Extra 300s,62inch ws. , A Sig Hog and Smith Mini. Herr pits special , tower hobby UpRoar, Sig Cobra, Bird Of Time, Skimmer, ect..ect. Any on of these kits will give you a sample of what these folks are doing.I built them all and around 8 more hanging around while I switched to FPV 3 years ago.. Only difference is Phoenix does it much better then I can. LOL
I bought two Phoenix kits, their A6M 46/55 GP 55" Zero and the FW 190 46/55 GP good quality till you get to the landing gear assembly, nothing fits, tubs have to be altered to fit in place ribs interfere and have to be cut away, screws for gear doors are to long and once installed landing gear on both kits hangs down from wing almost 3/4" had to remove 1/2 of wood where gear mounts just to make the fit decent
Dollartree tube planes rock! Maybe spend $3 and. 3 hours throwin a plane together out of foamboard and hotglue. Toss in esc, motor, battery, reciever, and some servos. Fly it around, smash it up...no big thing. But one hell of a way to spend the day. How much do they want for one of these..$150? And some nubie gets to fly it once or twice, a total of 30 seconds airtime and the thing gets smashed to pieces. Real fun, huh? Tube planes, the answer to learning to fly.
And each one looks exactly like the other. When I finish building a model, I know at least two things. It's built correctly, and it's the only one like it in the world. There's definitely some value in that.
@@jackmaulden4815 Hey, Jim! I could make a laundry list as long as your arm of things beginners do wrong. starting with their choice for their first plane. (Don't get me started.)
I wonder what those workers must think of us? Having the free time and money to indulge in a past time, whereas they work long hours, hours from family, with probably only a half day off each week? 🤔
Well, they could be working in a steel foundry risking their lives everyday to make crap for the world. At least this is place is clean and probably the only real threat to their safety is cutting themselves with a knife or burning themselves with the iron.
Would love to see an assembly start to finish, not hap-hazard short shots of unrelated building. This is just various clips in a factory. Please no music.
What is going on at Phoenix factory ? Seems like everywhere you look Phoenix models are out of stock .I hope all is well and they catch up with demand and keep those great airplanes coming!
Very interesting! These people have some great skills! I'm sure that I would too if I worked at a factory that produces hundreds of RC aircraft in a day. My 125" 1:4-3/4 Lysander is coming from that factory very soon!
Update; I had received my airplane back in July, and I have to admit that it was packaged very nicely, all parts were intact, and there was very little modification or trimming during assembly. Truly a great kit of excellent workmanship!
I feel awful for them. How sad, and they dont look happy.. I couldnt imagine building the same thing over and over. I'd give them a nice place to live and a damn good wage if I could get people like that to work at my business. I never thought I'd be the "old guy" saying this but the youth today in America is a sad disgrace. We still have an awful employee shortage in ND and they know it so you cant tell them "do not sit on your phone" or they will walk out. So unless you want to do everything yourself you look away.
I know American people about that age with more boring jobs, and they are happy. They know it's not a forever job. I don't think you should feel awful for them without knowing the situation. Of course you might be right, how can we know. Guess I'd be sorry for me if I had to build 200 wings a day!
@Flip465 Nice one. And you're honest about it. Most menn think that they choose the woman. It's actually the other way around. A woman chooses a man. 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼 😊😊😊
@Flip465 I'm sure she is judging by what I saw in the video. And I also find the oriental gukrks ver beautiful. And the best is, most of them are nice and skinny. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊😊😊😊😊
haha, I hear you! I worked in a cabinet shop and we got some co-op students in...gave them some small "projects" to do...OMG what a MESS..... But then again, I've been building models for 50 years, you should have seen my first ones....EEEK lol Stuff glued on crooked, finger prints everywhere, and back then, the only way you could paint them was with a brush......
Thank you to the management and and all staff for producing the great models for all RC flyers. Thanks for sharing your work space with us.
A very interesting walk around at your facilities. Very professional skilled workers doing a great job. Thank you very much for sharing this video.

And I bet for all that diligence and attention to detail, day in and day out - to bring RC modellers around the world so much fun and joy - they only get paid a pittance!!
Yes I agree. But as soon as they start paying workers more then increase the purchase price who is the first to moan eh!
@@bobwebber8521 If it was you in their position it'd be a different story. But go ahead, enjoy your cheaply made model, without a conscience.

Awesome. Flying Phoenix models are an extremely pleasure. I have several and am planning on buying more. Many thanks to all those at Phoenix.
Hello from Vancouver BC, a huge thank you to all the good people @ Phoenix Model Factory!! thanks for uploading
Wow! Amazing amount of inventory, and all of it hand assembled. Impressive! 👏👏👍👍

Wow alot of handmade skills and details
Nice manufacturer of rc planes. I enjoyed very much
Kind of surprising to see them building models for other brands, but when you builds planes in batches it’s no surprise to have surplus production capacity. Seeing a wall full of Dazzlers was a neat surprise. That was a plane I remember seeing in the catalogs when I was younger and only just got one second hand last year. The plane is a lot of fun but the stick on covering leaves a lot to be desired compared to an iron on. It made covering repairs difficult since the two kinds are not easily compatible.

And for one worker, it goes something like 100 only-rudders a day.
Phoenix Model is my first rc airplane. I learn rc flying used the 40size high wing trainer, then upgrade to next level with the 40size Scanner low wing trainer. Owned n flew the 40size Space Walker as well. Nice!

👍👍👍👍👍
Wonderful work young ladies. I know you get paid for the job you do, but I doubt it is as much as you deserve to be paid.
My dad got a Phoenix .40 F-4U Corsair for Christmas and it's a sweet looking ride. He loves it!
seus aeromodelos em escala são perfeitos,fiquei admirado com os detalhes do tucano,parabéns pelo trabalho!!
Just was on TOWER HOBBIES and they only have a few Phoenix Models in stock now. How come??? Also I'd like to see a NEW factory video from Phoenix Models PLEASE!!!
muy lindo video
Les mando un saludo muy cordial para todos desde Buenos Aires
Argentina.
Amazing amount of work goes into each and every one.
Love your planes.....wishing you would bring back the f-20 tigershark.....one of the best models I have ever flown
Build your own rather than depending on the oppression of communist China slaves.
isso sim que é produção em série, verdadeiro paraíso para os aeromodelista rsrsrs

No. Just the music did not match the video. But do agree, the music was sorely lacking in something needed to done with it. 😁🙉
Impresionante..¡¡¡ te felicito..!!!
They're doing beautiful work, but I bet none of them want to see an RC plane on the weekend!
WOW! Fantastic. I think I need to go there for some building lessons.
Wouldn’t mind having one of those Clamato 40 size

Awesome! Thank you for posting this video of your factory and skilled workers, Very interesting to see!
I wish you to fulfill the dreams of all pilots r / c.
Why don't they use jigs / templates to hold the parts in place during assembly. That would give more consistent quality.
Cause all the parts fit perfectly.
cause they dont give a fuck about anything other than profit.
Wow, they really do have bars on the windows. 2:37
Yeah, but that's to prevent break ins.

Factory good airlane
I think I saw the Embraer tucano aeroplane model
It is very awesome plane
An R/C “modeler” builds their own plane. I’ve seen some poorly built student’s planes that had more glue than balsa, so ARF’s have their place.
haha, I hear you! I worked in a cabinet shop and we got some co-op students in...gave them some small "projects" to do...OMG what a MESS.....
But then again, I've been building models for 50 years, you should have seen my first ones....EEEK lol
Stuff glued on crooked, finger prints everywhere, and back then, the only way you could paint them was with a brush......
how much dose you pay the workers pr. day. I don't ask pr. hour bc. I think it is to little to mention.
👍👍👍👍👍
I never knew kyosho models were produced by Phoenix
And great Planes
👍👍👍
I think you are going to need a larger building. Good luck, your great work deserves prosperity.
