Cecil,
You are right. It is the one by Don Lowe. The fuse is fiberglass and foam skinned wings and stab. I bought it from a fellow club member. It is almost complete, wings skinned and joined. Tail built and joined. Engine mount in place. I have to do the finishing and install radio. I'll keep you updated.

You've got me"all fired up and motivated"now. Phoenix 8, all "glassed", painted with Hobbypoxy(I've still have lots),Rhom Air retracts(remember them),with the old Kraft "slim-line wheels, pumped Webra Speed 61 on a"pipe", 11x73/4 "Rev-Up" maple prop, and a "big ole'","conical shaped" aluminum spinner... I should have it done by the time "Lowe" gets here in August

: ......Aaah, what a "nostalgia trip"

Cecil,
I love these old pattern planes. Flown dirty birdy for a few years and was my favourite planes out of the 30 different planes I've flown so far. The phoenix 8 I think is the latest design. If you don't mind, can you post a pic of it, I want to see how different it is from the Phoenix 6 that I have.
Thanks

Haven't flown since fall

Been too busy skiing

Ya, I'm one of those guys that likes winter, snow etc. Hey!!! I'm Canadian!!
