Hi Justin,
Now have 143 flights on the 90s FUN FLY and I just
LOVE IT!!! VERY EASY to hover and FLAT SPIN !!!
OS 91 FX is a perfect motor for this plane...
UNLIMITED VERTICAL....
The only change I would make is to mount the
motor at a 90 degree to the side...
The oil from a 90 just plasters the wing and tail...

RE: Anybody building, flying a Model Tech Fun Fly 90S ARF
Hi Justin, if you are still out there...
357 HARD flights now and still flying...[8D]
The plane is starting to wear out ( NO WONDER )
ORDERED a second FUN FLY today..
A WONDERFUL 3D plane !!!!
If people were to see this plane fly, It certainly
would be more popular...[/size]

RE: Anybody building, flying a Model Tech Fun Fly 90S ARF
An excellent ARF which serves as an example of how one should be built. I often fly my friend's when I can get it out of his tightly clutched hands which isn't often. BTW, www.hobbypeople.net has the best price on it. In fact, they had a Wednesday sale a few weeks back for around $140, and I almost bought one! Anway, it's a wonderfully flying airplane that can do about anything while having quite docile and predictable flying characteristics.
I have three engines: OS 40 LA, OS 40 FX, and OS 46 AX, so I limit myself to 40 sized airframes.
Ciao,
Mr Akimoto

Hi Mr Akimoto,
YOU are so right about this plane !!!!!
I have been running an OS 91FX on mine..
It can take off in 2ft. and go vertical out of sight and FAST..
...JUST LOVE the PLANE...

An OS 91 FX is an excellent choice of engine for this plane. I often see 4-strokes on it which just don't make any sense to me.

I think the model is quite handsome with an attractive and unusual color scheme. Most models are decorated for the circus, and I find them garish and tasteless. Anyway, except for us, most people don't have any taste!
