Ernie Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi GreggAre you sure you've got the name right? There is of course the Phoenix in the fantastic film 'The flight of the Phoenix', now that would make some model. I could probably dig something out on this. Also, There is a German biplane circa 1917 the Phonix.Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi GreggI found quite a bit on the full size by Googling Heston Pheonix, but I suppose you've already done that.Sorry I can't help moreernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg LeWarne Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi ErnieI have quite a lot on the full size,but I was hoping some industrious lad has already done a good scale planCheersGregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi Gregg,Why not draw one yourself from the info that you have. It's not so difficult....I'm an architect, from long before CAD, so could probably advise. ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg LeWarne Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi ErnieProbably what i will have to do.I do have a drafting table and a 2 D cad program,learning to use all of it.I am working on several other projects now and always adding to the collection so it may be a while before I get to the Phoenix.ThanksGregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rickett 102 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Gregg, You're possibly thinking of Derek Martin's Heston Pheonix, flown at many of the shows. There's a picture of it on the LMA website under 'Gallery' 'Commercial'. It's scratch built and to a particularly high standard, I believe it was completed about 4 years ago.Derek is a member (Chairman) of the Rolls Royce Hucknall club., try contacting him through that club for more information on how he did it Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
