Showtime OR Funtana X 100

[66stang]

I'm trying to decide on which plane to get. I will be using a Saito 100. I know it would be better with the Saito 125. But I have a 100. Anybody flying either of these birds with the Saito 100? Will the 100 with a 16X4 prop be able to pull out of a hover. The motor does run strong on 15%.. Will most likely use 30% to help a little on power. If you have some info please pass it along.

i dont think a 100 will do the trick on the x100 but it would be a monster on the showtime with a 16x4

Thanks... Is the Showtime much lighter than the Funtana X.. What I read on horizon made it seem like it might be a pound lighter. But with ARF's you never know. I know the showtime has less wing area.

showtime the best choice

i beleive it is, and if you dont use the sfg's it will be even lighter. we are looking for 2 to 1 power ratio to do great 3-d. and that combo will do the trick. also with a 100 on the fx-100 you would have to add nose weight, which in my book is a no-no. my moto is if you have to add nose weight then the motor is too small. in my fx-100 i'am using a moki 1.35 and that motor is perfect for that plane, cause the fusealage is soo long

for my is better showtime 4d because the rolls is better and the knife at very low speeds whit S.F.G etc.

[66stang]

Thanks for the input. I'm still wondering why I have not seen anybody using a pull pull on the Funtana X rudder. It only makes sense. I'd rather do that, then add nose wieght!

[66stang]

Also, I have not seen either plane in person fly. Is the Showtime as good at 3D as the Funtana X. If you have a flight report with a Saito 100. Let me know.

my funtana 100 (and everyone else's probably) will do everything...... my buddies showtime was dissapointing to us, a 100 won't be good power on the funtana even on 30%, i'm running 30 % on my 125 and it's o.k. power, but not crazy power....fwiw

[gerald]

then I took root I am mounting my showtime4d with a motor OS 1,20 ax 2c because they say that with that motor motor ba exceeding with a prop apc 16x4 or 16x4.

66 stang...fwiw......i'm going to sell my funtana 100 for 400.00 less bat and rx.saito 125 (17 flights) good hitec's in wings and stabs and 8411 on rudder, truturn spinner, 2x 16x4 props. one stab half and top of rudder had broken sticks which i repaired at the field

A monster?? I have one with a ys 140 and it is like ok.

[rede2fly]

you mean to tell me you have a showtime with a 140 4 stroke and its not doing the job?????????? you might want to send the motor in cause it should pull the firewall right off that plane...

[66stang]

I keep reading to put a big motor on these planes. But when do you draw the line. There's alot more to flying then just hovering. I mean after awhile the wing loading must really suck on some of these planes with big motors. Am I missing something. I do want the plane to hover, but I would also like it to perform good across the board.

Not from expirence or any thing but put a 125 saito or a ys 110. And BUILD LIGHT!!!!!
