What models in Phoenix do you use for 3D practice?

I'm using the Max3D when I want something that's as docile on the low and slow as my Sabre X and the DA Extra when I want something a bit more advanced. Any good custom models I should know about?

Well, I'm only a mild 3der but lately I find I'm really digging on the Kyosho Edge and the Hangar 9 Funtana in Phoenix. For planes I still prefer my old FSOne as I feel it's a little more accurate for planes but Phoenix overall is my favorite.

For heli's I really like that Henseleit. Sweeeeet flying heli (at least in the sim and probably in real life given it's cost).

As an update i reinstalled Phoenix on a new PC and recalibrated my DX8 to it. Now more of the models fly well. Really like the big Pitts, the Hangar-9 Beast, and still the Kyosho Edge. The Hangar-9 Sukoi is pretty good also. Not a huge fan of the Katana Mini model from PA but the Addiction flys pretty good in Phoenix.

Found a ton of new scenery on-line and hooked it up to the big flat screen so really digging on Phoenix these days.

do you have the ESM adrenaline plane? if so select it(its under the "performance section of fixed winged aircraft) then on the bottom left theres a drop down tab that should say "default". click it and showtime 50 and 3dhs Super Vyper should also be an option
