Loving watching all your videos guys! Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the phoenix? Its currently $200 aussie and trying to work out if that is too much?
The old Volantex Phoenix is a great glider. But not for us Old Farts these days. Nose-mounted motors are pretty well verboten and the weight limits and RID coming in on big stuff kills all but tiddlers for us.
@@modelmakingmaniacs8600Regulations will be pretty well universal around the world soon. Some countries are even tougher - eg UK requires registration for ANY UAV no matter what the weight if it has a camera. Japan has non-rego limit of 100gms. Flying only at registered Model Aircraft Club fields by members usually gets you off all the limits but anywhere outside the gates you're back in the daisy-doo!

I purchased the PNP version from Banggood.com for $180 AUD delivered. Waiting for the specials and keeping an eye on the website pays off.
@@modelmakingmaniacs8600 Thankyou!!

I was unaware we had restrictions on weight and design of RC Gliders in SA? All my gliders are motorised, and do not have (RID) Remote ID capability?
