New to 3D with Funtana
Just moved up into the Funtana 40 with a Saito 82, 14x4. Check it out! Any advice on setting her up or some tips on flying please don't hold back.

RE: New to 3D with Funtana
Kurt, I have had the CG all over the place. 6&3/8" is the best I've found. Farther back and the landings get really hairy. Farther forward and elevators and blenders suffer some. I also upgraded the AILE servos to 90oz. The 50oz I had could not deflect the big AILE as quickly as I wanted. When you said 14x4 I hope it's a 14x4W APC.
The landing gear area is a little weak. I cracked mine and replaced it with 3/16" ply and filled with balsa. I then drilled and tapped it for 1/4x20 nylon bolts and got rid of the blind nuts. This is lighter and stronger. I did go about 75 flights before it broke.
I could go on all day about mine. If you something specific post back here.
