I have talked to several people that have flown both and they say the funtana flies a ton better.

I have the edge and it is horrible!!!!!! Ive flown the funtana and its pretty much the same way. Why not go with the fliton extra or edge? Belive me, they dont 3D like you will expect it to. not good 3D planes! I would go with something else like the fliton planes for sure!

NO!! The MF is awful. Too heavy, not enough wing. THe Mini Edge is a lot better, but a little more fragile. I'd strongly recommend the Katana Mini, though, cause that's what I've got and it flies as close to perfect as they get.

Do you mean the E-flite Mini Edge or the Fliton Mini Edge? Both the E-flite planes are subpar. The Fliton is pretty good from what I hear.

I got a mini funtana, and it flies awesome. At first had some cg problems, but moved battery pack and speedy forward, and this thing is so predictable its untrue. The under-carriage is weak, but with the trusty 5 min araldite, its good.
