2.4Ghz 4-Channel Radio Remote Control Electric Phoenix1600 Air Glider R/C Airplane RTF w/Brushless Set up + EPO Durability Review

So, apparently this glider is not very common, the phoenix 2000 and the 16/2.6 convertible phoenix however is much more common, just look at them on youtube, and this glider is pretty identical to it, as far as i can tell.. Assembly is quite easy, but there are no instructions. The manual glosses over many things but you just have to think logically and be prepared to improvise. I didn't have any experience with RC planes and i managed to build it.

The fuselage is from a sturdy and well-manufactured nylon plastic mold (i think radians have epo bodies, right??), and the wings are EPO (light, foam, do not step on it or bump it, i bumped the tail and almost broke off the rudder before i even flew it). There are rods to strengthen the wings and tail fins. The servos, receiver, ESC, and motor are pre-installed, as well as the pushrods to the tail. you just have to mount all the little plastic platforms for the servos and put the tail + wings together, then connect the aileron servos with a Y connector and plug in to the receiver (which is velcro'd on to the fuselage, mine came off already before i even hooked it up. The radio feels cheap, but it is 2.4ghz/600m. it has the short plastic antenna but does the job. The battery is a three-cell lipo, that you might want to replace for a better one. There is only a wall charger, no car charger. The CG is detailed on the wings and in the manual.

issues: one servo was defective. i opened it and the cogs inside were broken. I asked for a replacement which i have yet to receive. The battery was also off-balance but i managed to get it fixed, but this ended in a reduced capacity of the battery.

When i took it to the field, the CG was way off, and the glider was very pitch-unstable in flight. I flew it three times, the last one ending in a crash; a nosedive at full power into the ground. The fuselage was bent in front and the nosecone was damaged. the battery and CG-balance weight was thrown from the plane, the wings were crooked. But all in all, with some patchwork, nothing was really broken and so I had it back in the air after some de-bending and reinforcement of the wings. So all in all, it's pretty crash proof (this was the worst possible type of crash, it turned inverted then i tried to level is by using up-elevator which nosed it right down into the ground). This price i think is unbeatable for a RTF 4 channel Glider with 2,4ghz, brushless motor, and LiPo battery.
