New funtana 40 and funtana 90!!!!!

[aerojack]

49 sq inches less than a great planes 1/4 scale extra. So it should take a 40cc just fine! And mabey some 50cc's too I just happen to have a ZDZ40, DA50 & 3W50 collecting dust on my bench & they need a home. Whats it weigh anyone know?

In the Funtana? Even the X? No way my man.
The roto 35 was a pig in the Funtana.
All UP Weight on a lean funtana should be around 9.5 LBS, you'd be lucky to get it to 13 with a 40 or 50cc motor. The Funtana series should be left to glow...

UNLESS - the BME 55 comes out at 2.5 lbs.. that may just work in this plane...
hmmmm.

nope same as the original

A BME55 in a X- OMG !!
In one word 'ballistic'
I thought my 40 would be too much.
But is there such a thing as too much power?? Just more throttle mgt. right!!
The ad did say "Extremely lightweight all-wood construction" so- Hmmm,--mabey???

[SleepyC]

The motor would HAVE to be sub 2.5 lbs. So any GAS motor thats 2.5lbs or under may work.
The BME 55 I think is going to weigh 2.5 lbs.. thats why I recommended it.
But I would probably slap a saito 1.25 , a FX 1.40 or even a saito 1.50 in it, call it a day and fly the stripes off it.

Gotta admit I got sick of banana yellow!
haha.

[green@3D]

No kiddin sleepy, I got so sick of it I sold my old reliable F90 a couple weeks ago.

Now I may have to buy another one. Damn it.

awesome!

[SleepyC]

Wait a minute? Who makes and distrubutes these??
Any US distributors??

Woah wait... 80" wingspan, and almost $600 US?
Thast a lot of money for a 80" plane!!

Looks good though!

You know the SFG probably act like boundary layer fences on the tips. I have flown numerous flying wings and those with tip fins were WAY more stable at high alpha then those with central fins. So, basically I think the SFG will make the plane a lot more stable in harriers etc as well. Just a thought.

What do you guys think about the OS 120AX in this one?

I had an os 120 III in the F90 and it sucked.
Flew it.. but NO pull out.

Don't know what the AX would do.

4-stroke to 2-stroke, Sleepy, supposed to have a ton of power.

[SleepyC]

Ohhhhh - gotta excuse me.. I'm in gasser mode. And my last nitro planes were all 4 stroke...

I forgot 2 stroke glow motors existed...

I am shamed...
