Status: offline 		It looks interesting, but after building an Eflight mini Funtana X, I will wait and see how the Extra turns out. I dislike my Mini Funtana X so I am I am looking for a new home for my 480.

I noticed that the published weight for the Extra is almost identical to the mini Funtana X. But the mini Funtana X lists a battery of 2100, whereas the Extra lists a 1320 to 2100. The Mini Funtana X comes out much heavier than published, most are around 32 oz. If the Extra is similar, or even heavier with the 2100 (no way a 1320 is enough), it will be a flying boat anchor.

Status: offline 		This model looks like a candidate for the Cyclon Mini Punch. 2.8oz brushless outrunner/geared. Swings up to a 14 x 9 prop at about 450watts. That should overcome any weight issues. Costs more than the airframe, but most quality powerplants do. Small price to pay for having more than enough 3D H.P. under the cowl. Performance should be phenominal! Can't wait to try it out. Like the color scheme too.

That should work very well.

You can also find them (with some information) on Horizon Hobby's site.

The Mini Punch is in the Elite section.

Status: offline 		The manual states that the 1320 drains quickly at full throttle, I would use the 2100. I am quite curious what the weight is tith the 2100 and 480.

I need this plane to round out my hanger. I already have a 33% and a 42% Extra-260

Status: offline 		I don't think that cyclon is a good choice if it needs a 14" prop, i am using a 11x5 and it's already close to the ground on take off and landing. Wouldn't go past 12"

I made a short vid using a 10x5E xoar, i was getting cutoffs on the 11" and i thought it was too much for the motor, turns out it was a bad motor lead connection (i think, haven't flown since i re did them) Anyway it's a great plane and will be a top performer if i can sort the power system issues i was having.

Phoenix 35
kontronik maxi dancer (66 grams)
vislero 1300 mah 20C 3 cell (110 grams)
bluebird 371's all around
7P rx
11x5 xoar (switched to 10x5 in the vid, much better power on 11x5)

Auw; unknown, guessing sub 26oz

Note the cutoffs were making me very very nervous. Hope you like the running comentary by my friend "Jello"
