Phoneix Scanner
Has anyone tested one?
I am ready to fly one, but I have to add too much weight in front to balance. It seems something is wrong because is ARF model.
Thanks.

I have flown one for a club member on it's first flight. They are a nice first low wing model with good basic stability and capable of some aero's without scaring the pilot. For the price they are good value, but I'm sorry I can't help you with the balance question, good luck. Matt

RE: Phoneix Scanner
I have been flying one and to balance it i hung it upside down from with a rope from the CG and placed the engine and shifted it around till it got right.
I feel for the price it flies like a dream. I even manage to do a knife edge with it

Hi daniXR,
There is at least 6 or so Scanner's at my club. They all fly very well, & have many differnt engines on them, anything from OS 40LA's through to 70 size Saito four strokes.
Good luck with 1, it will serve you well.

RE: Phoneix Scanner
Thank you everybody!
I put the motor in front as possible and the bateries in a flat batery holder upside the fuel depot. Now, only few grams of plumb are needed.
O.F.: Chrasharama, matt13 I was in your country last year. I was great!

Finally I put 100 gr and left the center of gravity at 7 cm from the edge.
Today I tested and it flies very well and was easy to land.
