<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255); ">Got the funtana back in the air this weekend for about 7 flights. since I couldnt get the darn thing to balance very well without adding 2 ounces of lead to the nose I ended up going with a 7s setup
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "><span style="font-size: smaller; ">(3s & 4s zippy 5000 in series)</span></span>and a xoar 18x8 on it. Also moved rudder out of the tail and made it a pull-pull. Im getting around 2200 watts using the logging in the ICE 100 to measure.
Components:
~ Hacker A50-12L
~ 10 amp castle BEC @6.5v
~ RX AR7000
~ Rudder & Ailerons 7775MG & 5245MG on elevator (53 degrees throw)
~ Castle ICE 100 (<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "><span style="font-size: smaller; ">Settings are at Med timing advance (5)(default) and 12khz for the pwm</span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); "><span style="font-size: smaller; ">.</span></span>)
~ Xoar 18x8 (<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "><span style="font-size: smaller; ">
Now I think it would do much better with a 18x10 but I couldnt find one so I will have to order.</span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102); "></span>)
~ 7s setup
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "><span style="font-size: smaller; ">(<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">3s & 4s zippy 5000 in series 20c</span>)
</span></span>~ 85 amps at WOT - 2200 watts

Now that I have a position where it will fly neutral maybe I can get a 6s setup back in it to cut that 4oz of extra weight. Overall the plane did really descent 3D. I am going to go ahead and grab the
carbon fiberLG. I would also like to find a source for some good nylon bolts for the LG and SFGs etc. So if anyone knows where to get 3 & 4 mm nylon bolts I would love to know. (socket head prefered but not really holding my breath).</span>
