Following my efforts to get the Canadair airborne, and considering I only get two goes a week due to lake access, I've been chilling out flying the Phoenix, interspersed with a bit of high-speed fun flying the Radjet (aka buzzy jet )and Rarebear (aka little buzzy) around the paddock.
Having suffered reconstruction nerves, which saw the Rarebear nosediving on launch and the Radjet almost knife-edging into the lake, I've now got both of them launching most enjoyably.
The last couple of outings I have also been enjoying a little meditation with the Phoenix, climbing it hard till just under the clouds and then letting it float down slowly, hanging almost motionless in the air with the flaps down. Today, with winds gathering up high, the Phoenix was actually drifting downwind, almost imperceptibly, despite there being barely a breath of wind on the ground...
