In Phoenix - how can I tell which (if any) heli is a fixed pitch heli?

Thanks,
Eric

I think the Swiss Lama Coaxial is the only fixed pitch heli in Phoenix.

I've never considered a coaxial heli an FP. Anyway, yes, there is a FP heli in Phoenix RC...the Spark.

Are there different versions of the Spark? The one I have is definitely collective pitch, check the settings - it has an initial pitch range of -4 to +10 degrees and will autorotate (albeit not very realistically for a heli that size). Inverted flight is possible. Hit throttle hold and you'll find that you still have pitch control.

I stand corrected. You are correct. The Spark is, in fact, a CP heli. I should pay more attention to detail. :rolleyes:
