The 50% edge is sweet, cant wait to see Hempels's new 50% 260.
That 300evo looks like a demon, must sound awesome.
Hi Gus
I haven't got the EVO yet, so I haven't herd how it sounds. Should be good but.
Bill sent some pictures out today of the 50% 260, I'll try and send them to you tomorrow when I get to Work. The time here now is 10.20pm so good night for now.

Alex may have thought you meant the 40size, but even then the 100 is not too much, I would say its the limit but not too much. The F90 should be ok with the 125, not a misile but it will be nice and light.

Hey Andreas

The edge seems to fly very well,I havent had too long and im no professional but its very stable in flight

From what ive tried and to my capability it hovers well but the ailerons arn't that affective and as soon as theres no power the elevator has very little affect too unless you going pretty fast

But all in all its a very cool plane

Oh and at full power and full rudder it stiil sinks in knife edge?

Return of the FUNTANA.B-) Should be good with the 125 saito. Nice light wing loading. Was looking at mine and thinking that it needs to be thrashed around a bit. How the repairs going Damien and Jason?

Yep, I miss my old funtana40. Its nice to have a plane that you can throw around and not worry too much. I think the F90 should fly better than the 40, I am looking foward to getting it in the air.
Repairs are going slow, not too much left to do though.

Robert Mugabe walks into a bar with a frog on his head.
Barman says " Where did you get that? "
Frog replies " was born with a Wort on my A$$ "
