FliteTest in Phoenix RC (Model Index)

[JohnRambozo]

First off... THANKS!!! I've had Phoenix for a LONG time... these models are the best thing to happen to the sim since I've bought it.

May already have been suggested, but is there any chance the Baby Blender might make the list to be added? Just wondering.

Thanks so much for the work you've already done!!!

I'm loving this thread! Keep it coming. I wonder is there anyone that got a 360 of Flite Fest? We could use that field in the Sim.

Thank you both for the positive comments! I added the Baby Blender to the list of requests. And I would love to have some high quality panoramic images of FF 2016 for the sim if they exist.

I have ordered the Phoenix RC Sim and it should be here Friday, and thanks to the hard work on this thread, I have downloaded all the current models and the Kapper Resdence in preparation of my software. I am 61 and have at various time in the last 40+ years gotten into the hobby, built a plane once, but never took off. Now it seems I have the support and the tools to get in the air. I have started on Tiny Trainer and plan on flying soon.

Update: Received my simulator and Tx, updated files now have FT models and Kapper residence, Yes!

Awesome!!!

The Mini F-22 is now available. Download in the first post and let me know how it compares to the real thing.

The long-awaited Super Bee is now available for pre-release flight testing. This thing is FAST. Feel free to turn do the rates or even use dual rates at high speed. Download from the first post.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I've been playing the Phoenix for a few weeks using a DX6i and have been having a blast. The fact that I could download FT models and fly them pulled me into ordering my first FT speed build (A Tiny Trainer) which has just been shipped to me (across the pond so still a bit of a wait for it!).

Without the ability to fly the FT models in Phoenix I would have probably gone for a Bix3 or something ready made. I'm going to make the Tiny Trainer with my daughter and use it as a chuck glider (she's only 3) but I'm also going to install the servos and RX so I can maybe have a go at tow launching it for short glider flights.

Great work. You are an amazing asset to the community.

Great work. You are an amazing asset to the community.

Second that. Thanks so much for what you're doing. We people in the UK have little access to FT stuff, and deciding to build a plane before we know exactly how it flies was a big commitment. But now that we have FT models in phoenix, all that has changed

Thanks again!

John, I've tested SuperBee and it behaves really strange.
In high rates on differential turn (rudder input) when plane should probably tip stall, it goes crazy and start flying by itself like a night moth on steroids, erratically and nonstoppable. Latest Phoenix.
And on low rates no rudder/differential authority at all.

That's great. Now keep in mind the Sim is not prefect but very close. There are still real world variables that the Sim will not do, on top of the quality of the build itself.

Absolute Legend Thanks

Thanks for the greats supply of downloads, I have been trying to make the files my self with no luck. What software did you use to make the 3d models? I tried to use Blender and Phoenix Builder but when I finished the build I could not find the plane to test can anybody shed some light on this please?

Hey bargy73. I'm glad you're enjoying. I use Blender and Phoenix Builder, as well. What model are you trying to make?

Hey carter! I swear I replied to this weeks ago. I was so struck by your story, I showed it to Josh Bixler and he absolutely loved it. That's so awesome! I hope it has been a good experience for you and your daughter.

Thanks for the feedback, Yaroslaw. I am aware and working to get this 'bug' out of the Bee.

That's the goal, orange_rc_pilot. While I try to get as close as I can to the actual experience, Kurt is right. There are real world variables that just don't translate. You can turn on some randomized wind to help get a little closer, but its never going to be exact.

Hi John

Thanks for the response.

I'm Currently scratch building a 737-800 it has a wing span of about 1.6m. I found a few prebuilt models on the blender site but no luck getting them into Phoenix to test. I would like to model my spitfire to practice on as well.
My next scratch build I am starting to draw up is a c-130, I have striped down my s500 quad for parts.

Thanks again
Jack
No quite the latest photo but close.
