The Volantex Phoenix S 1600mm ABS Glider – ARTF (part no. V742-07) blends durability, easy transport and smooth flight performance in a practical 1.6m platform. Popular with some club competitions, it offers a balanced mix of stability for soaring and enough power for sport flying.

A sleek, blow‑moulded ABS fuselage shrugs off knocks, while the EPO stabiliser and elevator are carbon‑reinforced for extra rigidity in the air. The Volantex fast‑connect wing clip system means assembly or break‑down takes just minutes, making it ideal for flying sessions on the go.

Delivered ARTF with electronics pre‑installed, the Phoenix S includes a 2212/1400KV brushless motor, 30A ESC and four 9g servos. Add your 2.4GHz 4‑channel radio gear, a 2S 7.4V 1500mAh LiPo and a suitable charger to complete. Ailerons are fitted; flaps are not.

Features

Is there enough room to take a 3ss 2200 battery in the Volantex. Thanks.
Charles Birch / 25th May 2025

The spec advises a 7.4v 1500mah battery.

Rich @ Wheelspin Models
Hi I'm looking to order one of these gliders end of the week The specs say 7.4v 2cell 1500mah battery so been looking at the batteries on your site but seems they have a selection of different connectors Could you please let me know which ones will fit this glider? Thanks
Chris Challice / 24th February 2025

This model uses an XT60 connector.

Rich @ Wheelspin Models
What transmitter,receiver,charger and battery do I need for this glider
Oliver Braithwaite / 28th June 2024

Yes this battery RDNB14002S30XT60

and this tx/rx FS-I4X-A6M2

and any lipo charger that will do 7.4v like this ET0223

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Hi, could I use a 1300mAh 3s 25c 11.1v in this plane? Thanks
James / 25th May 2024

It would have slightly less flight time than the usual 1500mah, but yes as long as the connector is the same.

Rich @ Wheelspin Models
What battery connector does the ESC in the Volantex Phoenix S 1600mm have. I am assuming XT30?
Hywel / 19th May 2024

This has an XT60 connector.

Rich @ Wheelspin Models
Which battery with correct connector for Phoenix S160 please? Thanks
Christopher Champ / 27th April 2024

The spec states up to 1500mah 2s lipo - it comes with an XT60 connector so I would look at something like this: RDNB14002S30XT60

Rich @ Wheelspin Models
Hi all, can I ask if the "Volantex Phoenix S 1600mm ABS Glider - ARTF" works with the Futaba transmitter and receiver? Thanks
Fabio / 11th March 2024

Yes it will work with pretty much any flight transmitter and receiver.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
