Default Re: Futana reduced to confetti. Bother a rebuild?

I've been through a few Funtanas! For a plane such as that, you have to consider if it's just worth another $200 beans to get another one instead of spend countless hours turning the toothpicks back into a flying machine.

$200 isn't that bad...I've spent five times that much gambling in one evening..although that night made me give up gambling..lol.

Another one in that 46AX size would be the OMP Boxxer lots of squares. I think it would great on a .46...IMHO....

Caveat - I dont own yet - not yet...anyway...

Anyone else got an opinion on the Boxxer???

Funtana X100 = Most dangerous plane money can buy.

But it can fly beautifully. Mine lasted a whole 4 (glorious) minutes until it came down hard. I never could find one of the digital aileron servos and its pushrod.

H9 should know better than offering a great flying plane with such substandard hinging design.

Hey Ken,
No kidding...when I saw your avatar i said to myself "this guy will surely appreciate the kind of work I can do at the sticks" so was naturally tempted to use my tana's corpse as my avatar but somehow felt I would've been guilty of plagiarism. Thanks for the kind words, my friend!

MAN, that plane looks like you left it setting in the driveway and someone played pullup backup and ran over it several times.
