    I have the Ranger 2000, which has the exact same wing and tail/empennage. The flaps are effective enough so all the work with flaperon and crow seems a bit unnecessary.
    I would also put the servo horns in the tail pointing upwards instead of down as you did here, as it would protect them better when landing on grass. Thanks for your very good and interesting videos. 👍

    The Phoenix 2K V2 is by far the best designed of the Phoenix Series. Unfortunately, mine is sitting in my winter house (in Phoenix) collecting dust. By the way, the horn backer bumps go away from the foam so it doesn't decrease and weaken the foam structure.

    Thanks for all your help, especially with the decals. My control horns are different, they did not come with screws and the backing plastic has slots that mate with little arms that come off the back of the control horns that protrude through the control surface. Am I supposed to use glue on these or do they lock into place. TIA.

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  3 года назад

      You can glue on the flat part and then just stick them through. That's what I would do at least. If you feel like they will CLIP together good enough, then you could give it a try...BUT just use care they won't come undone with servo movement.

    The manual does not mention how to free off the control hinges.
    What i mean is..... Am i supposed to cut the polystyrene away with a modelling knife on the hinge line?
    Surely the plastic hinges should hold it.
    Otherwise they are very stiff

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  3 года назад

      Pinch hinges are sometimes okay, and other times they fail quickly. You have to decide how you want to proceed. It's not hard to cut them free, then install a hinge, but you don't have to do it this way, if you'd rather have pinch hinges.
      What I mean is that you have the flexibility to do whatever you feel is best.

  • @FAQSlandStudio

    Hey, great vids. Just one thing, bit of a noob question: when balancing the Phoenix, what are you using for weights and most importantly, how should it look when properly balanced?
    I always worry that I’m too nose or tail heavy. I know a little nose heavy is better but can you show the pitch of the fuse, side on while balancing, so we/I can see what “properly balanced” should look like?
    Thanks mate, great vids, really helpful and a good laugh too 😉👍🏼

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  3 года назад +1

      I almost always use the battery to make adjust the CG. Some use dead weight, like lead weights, but I can't bring myself to use dead weight, BUT you can generally use LESS all up weight, since you can get the weight further out in the nose or the tail of the plane.

    I liked the video series, and especially liked the way that the crow configuration could really slow the plane down. I have a 6-channel radio. Is it possible to set the flaps up using one channel and having a "Y" cable from the receiver to each servo in the plane? Also, were you using two channels for the ailerons?

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  4 года назад

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  6 лет назад

      Sorry about that. The FLAT is supposed to go FLAT against the foam (regardless of which surface you're dealing with). Some will argue that I'm wrong, but I'd day there will be a far MORE threads exposed beyond the plastic doing it the "other" way...

      @@BrianPhillipsRC I'm with you. I don't see how anyone would think it could go the other way. The way it came across to me was that the bumps should be against the foam. I just wanted to know why. I'm always eager to learn new things. Love your videos.

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  6 лет назад

      P.S. I've done it both ways, just to experiment, and if the screws were the correct length, that would be a really nice way to do it, but if you want to cut them down to length, it's very tough, since they get hot and melt the plastic :(

    Brian I thought you had to use spectrum receivers with spectrum transmitters 🤔

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  4 года назад +1

      You have to use a compatible protocol... Spektrum uses DSM, then DSM2, and now DSMX. DSMX and DSM2 are generally considered to be "compatible" as the DSMX can be "Forced" back to DSM2, in many cases, but there are some limitations you might run into.
      Basically, the 2.5 GHz is the frequency range where the Transmitter and Reciever operates, but the WAY that it operates is the "protocol".
      For example, you might want to use an Orange Rx, which is DSM2 or DSMX...or a Lemon Rx which is DSM2 or DSMX, or they also use DSMP (Which is a joke, since it's ACUTELY just DSMX). But if you ran Futaba, they'd have another protocol, which is FHSS, or FRSKY which is OpenTx, and so on and so forth. There's also some other "toy grade" protocols out there, and some are Crystal based still!
      Lots to learn on this front. Don't feel bad if you're confused...it took me a few years of screwing around with this stuff to even understand there WAS a difference, but there is.
      Hopefully, this answers your question.
