I flew our Phoebus for the first time yesterday, late in the day, with weak lift for 50 minutes. I got into a quick up-down-up bit of PIO on take-off, but...
Hi everybody; I am new in the group, and I would like to have some information about aileron seal of a A phoebus. I wolul like to have some pictures on the...
We've hooked up with an A&P down here to go over the Phoebus B and do some TLC on the bird. He asked if we had the service manual and the dimensional specs on...
Someone needs to tell them that they can easily get another 2-3 grand out of this ship if it is in as good of condition as they say. You hate to see someone...
My guess is it is someone that is out of soaring now, and just wants to unload it quickly. You are right Bruno, this ship is a steal and I hope someone that...
This Saturday my Phoebus partner did a few winch launches in our Phoebus. This was a first for him and perhaps, first for our Phoebus. He did a great job and...

In my opinion it is reasonably safe to ground launch a Phoebus A,B, or C sailplane as long as the initial acceleration is not too great. The all-moving...
