For those of you who don't scratch build or just want a new, fun exciting kit utilizing this new proprietary airframe material,
ARR and Phenix Tube proudly introduce...
....out of the ashes of shattered phenolic, crumpled cardboard, and costly alternatives rises..
The original Blue Phenix was a limited run of 20, and have all been sold, at z-e-r-o profit..
All I did was just threw a kit out there for those who didn't scratch build in order to get people to see the new airframe..
I didn't expect much of anyone to buy it! Lesson learned.. Most people BUY KITS!
Congratulations to Matt Van Durme on his successful Level 1 Certification on kit #01! Pictures here.

The 3" Blue Phenix is a sharp kit that stands over 5 feet tall with a 38mm motor mount that will handle the crushing blow of the Warp 9 reloads** as well as the "King of the Grunts", the 9 grain J825 Redline reload.
