It is a little known fact that the Swan and the Owl had a thing. hee hee hee. Winknudge (Yeah! In my dreams)

I love the pics Fury. And I agree with everything everyone said. Good looking guy, great model and great garden. I would love a water feature like the one you have in your garden.

Sorry to hear about your back. Hope it is getting better.

Blimey Fury, not only got a Swan swooming over you, but your fellow Owl and the only female Eagle, who's The Eagle In Charge as well.

Maybe I should start making models myself.

Ok, slight change of plans. When i took the Phoenix into the model shop he was almost jumping up and down with excitement Smile (love seeing an older bloke actually happy bout something, they usually look so miserable lol )

The original plan was to place a pusher propeller on the back of the phoenix BUT, when the guy saw how i had built it, with plenty of empty space inside he pretty much insisted that i put an EDF (electro ducted fan) deep inside the fuselage, cut out the air inlets and put some ducting in so it forces the air thru the EDF.

The guy reckons that it should "scream thru the air" (his words, not mine) Smile

Basically this means that there will be NO PROPELLOR and it will have the air being blasted thru the jet outlets at the back Smile

No prop means that it will look like a jet whilst in flight Smile

Im very happy with it. One thing tho, im gonna have to half dissasemble the airframe to make all the changes that are needed but it wont take too much to do and it will not damage the airframe.

Will take some photos as i make the changes.

Also, thanks to everyone for being so kind, I dont usually make a habit of hanging out on Forums but i bet im gonna be here for a good long time Smile
