GARY BLANDFORD-HULL Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Hi have just acquired a Phoenix 2000 RC Motor Glider 200cm Span as I want to try electric flight/soaring. It is missing the canopy/battery cover and I was wondering if anyone has one that they would like to pass on to me? Happy to pay for it including post and packing. Thanks Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypeesh Posted December 12, 2024 Share Posted December 12, 2024 Common problem with the phoenix - they fall off easily in flight. When you do find one put a bit of wide tape along one side to act as a hinge and stop it flying away. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARY BLANDFORD-HULL Posted December 12, 2024 Author Share Posted December 12, 2024 Many thanks for the advice. Will do once I manage to find a canopy/cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatMc Posted December 12, 2024 Share Posted December 12, 2024 Gary, have you googled for the parts ? Wheelspin Models & Banggood both list Volantex canopies but I don't know if there are several different versions here's Wheelspin's Volantex part list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARY BLANDFORD-HULL Posted December 12, 2024 Author Share Posted December 12, 2024 No I haven't. I sent an e-mail to the manufacturers in Poland, but have had no response as yet. The canopy on Wheelspin models doesnt look to be the right shape looking at the picture on their web page. Will have a look at Banggood later.

GARY BLANDFORD-HULL Posted December 13, 2024 Author Share Posted December 13, 2024 That's great. Can you let me know what you want for it including packing and postage please? Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted December 13, 2024 Share Posted December 13, 2024 If you arrange the postage I will find a suitable box I actually want nothing for it but if you make a charitable donation to your local stroke department it will be relevant in my case. With regard to postage it is my understanding that the post office will now collect free of charge and postage can be paid for and arranged on line. I hope it is okay because mobility is an issue for me at the moment. Let me know if you want to do this and I will pm you my address.

GARY BLANDFORD-HULL Posted December 13, 2024 Author Share Posted December 13, 2024 That's OK with me Steve. Let me have your address and the size of the box and I will arrange postage for it. Be a new experience for me organising postage so will let you know when I have arranged it. Regards Gary. Understand your mobility problems as two years ago I broke my neck after going over the handlebars of my road cycle. Wasn't expected to live but I have regained 90% mobility.

EarlyBird Posted December 13, 2024 Share Posted December 13, 2024 Already and waiting the box size is probably 32 times 8 times 7 centimeters and it weighs nothing but it feels that way anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayjay Posted December 14, 2024 Share Posted December 14, 2024 I think the canopy shown is for Phoenix 2.4 Hope this is read before posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARY BLANDFORD-HULL Posted December 14, 2024 Author Share Posted December 14, 2024 Many thanks. I will sort out postage probably on Monday and let you know. Can't do it sooner at the moment as I shall be away from home until Monday. Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARY BLANDFORD-HULL Posted December 14, 2024 Author Share Posted December 14, 2024 Yes I think you are right about it, as the pictures you kindly sent show a different profile to the place it fits on the fuselage. The one you have is not the right fit I am afraid, so I am afraid I will leave it with you. Thanks for all your help nevertheless, which I very much appreciate.

Nick Cripps Posted December 14, 2024 Share Posted December 14, 2024 (edited) The OP must be looking for the earlier version, Steve. This is what my Phoenix 2000 looks like: Edited December 14, 2024 by Nick Cripps typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GARY BLANDFORD-HULL Posted December 18, 2024 Author Share Posted December 18, 2024 Hi EarlyBird. Sorry for the late reply to you, but have been on the road over the past few days. The canopy your showing is for a 2000 V2 which is very different to the Phoenix 2000 model that I have. The model I have has a completely different canopy profile to the one that you kindly offered to me. Many thanks however your offer.
