Hi!
It's been a long time coming but it's finally here!
I present to you the Composite ARF Futaba scheme for the Phoenix Rc Extra.
It comes with Robbie Skipton's 'Al's Hobbies' scheme and a basic Futaba version.
Am I the only one thinking that Phoenix will remain incomplete until they model the Raptor 90 3D and SE models? It's not as if they are minority-interest or brand new, and there's plenty of new models arriving all the time. Come on Phoenix!
After my last post, I e-mailed the Phoenix development team to suggest they include the Raptor 90 series. This is what I wrote at 10:09:

Hi,
I'm a big fan of Phoenix but find it a little strange that such a common model as the Raptor 90 (SE and/or 3D) is missing from the inventory list. Are there any plans to add these in? Additionally, there has been a huge surge in the popularity of EDF jet models lately and the only one on the system is the rather large and heavy F16 EDF. This doesn't represent the common 3s and 4s lipo-powered foam models weighing 500g to 1200g and coming in a variety of guises such as F16s, F18s, F22s, F117As, Typhoons, Rafales, F4s, Hawks etc etc. It would great to have a few more of these to practice on!
Happy to send a few pics of the models I have if that would help.
Just half an hour later I received this at 10:42:

Hi Si
Thank you for your model request.
We can confirm that we have both the Raptor 90 SE and 3D on our schedule for new releases.
We also have many EDF ducted-fan models planned for release over the coming months. If you have a specific model that you own and would like to see in Phoenix, please let us know, as if you take the images that we require yourself then this can vastly speed up the model building process.
Best Regards
Phoenix Support
Now that's outstanding in my book. A near-immediate response which is personal, polite, upbeat and not even slightly automated. Well done Phoenix team!

PS: Apologies to those of you who were offended by my reference to EDF Jets in this forum. I will try to contain my other interests more in the future!
Sorry to be a dunce, but I have extracted into the "schemes" folder in Phoenix, but how do I select them from there. I can't find them when running phoenix and selecting "change model"?
Oliver,
When you have the Edit Model window open, towards the bottom there is a drop down list which will contain the available schemes for the currently selected model.
The schemes have a specific naming convention to them which makes the right schemes show up for the relevant model.
