RE: Hangar 9 Funtana 40
My crash was a month ago and it's no big deal to me. I won't spend more on a plane than I can afford to loose. If my spinner , motor or servos were hurt, I wouldn't be so nonchallant though! The F40 was replaced with the Funtana X50, which fly's the same to me. For me, I like the way the Funtana's fly. Hovering is easy and I can do some pretty radical stuff. I may modify my wing but I'll have to buy two rolls of covering to match up the stock colors. What a hassle!
I considered replacing the crashed F40 with a Fliton Extra 330 or Edge 540 but the build is not as straight forward and some say the durability is not equivalent. I also considered a Mojo 40, which is a whole different animal (possibly for the better). IMHO, the Funtana 90 does fly better than the 40 and lacks the tip stall trait.
