Yeah I don't think the Funtana has a very good gear design.

I never had a gear problem, but I did have to open the belly up and put a battery tray behind the gear to get her tailheavy enough. I was using a EF 2818-900 and a TP 2100

Yeah the gear on both the Funtana X 50 and the X 100 are crap. Hanger nine designed them to break out to save the weak airframe underneath the landing gear.
FWIW - Graph tech does make some very extremely durable lading gear both Funtana's.. I have thouroughly abused mine and they are still doing fine...
I just finished another Funtana X100 today I am going to maidened it tomorrow.. I will take a few pics, I may even have to do a Snapasurus - just for Elie and Mad Max...

Yeah baby!!!!

SO the new version is that much better? I have a Mini Funtana X and it is a bugger to get the spins flat.

It will flatten out - it only takes a bit of counter aileron- it is diffucult though... Stay out of the power also...

but with that said it does just about everything else nicely -


FWIW - it actually hovers easier with the SFG's...Harriers will have no wingrock and knife edge and rolling harriers are easier with the sfg's IMHO...

Man, Tony, you really got those rolling harriers down. I also counted 4 very sweet saves.

Looks like it was a bit nose heavy, am I right?

Nice vid. Make some more!
