dominicm Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 The Phoenix Models Tucano ARF is designed for petrol/gas power but the owner converted it to Wren 44 turbo prop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litespeed Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Looks and sounds the part. Maybe the Pheonix models have improved a great deal- must have or it was strengthened a lot. I remember early ones built from poplar and any other wood except for balsa and spruce- truly a self exploding machine. It must be better or he rebuilt it and added strength then recovered. This brand was really shoddy last time I used one- self imploded on low g turns. That was 4 years ago so maybe they are better. He must have faith to put that motor in it.

Mick Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 That's interesting. I have seen 2 Comp ARF Tucanos with turbo props & the sound did not impress me. They sounded no different to a big electric. In your video the turbine sounds comes across very clearly, the ones I saw were just all prop noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
