My Phoenix 190 build was straightforward although the wings really had to be worked into the fuse for a gap free fit. Flying characteristics are very stable but you need to keep the speed up on landing with full flaps to prevent stall. I am running mine on 10s eflite 160 swinging a 20” prop. So it does carry extra weight adding to flight stability. The thing I like the most with 190’s are the unique long struts. Seeing those long legs come down on final is just so cool. The drawback with the long struts is your landings need to be flown in and smooth or else risk damage. The original struts included are woefully out of scale. I went with eflite 90 units with electric retracts. In order to keep the struts scale I did not trim the eflites at all and dropped right in. I did reinforce the retract mounts with 2 layers of fiberglass and after approx 12 flights have no problems. With the mods am very happy with my 190.

Super nice bird and seems to built very well. for the price this one is hard to beat!
